Where does music come from that streams?

If I was creating my own streaming company, would I reproduce songs from a CD or from a record? So when I listen to my streaming source, qobuz, where do they get the music I listen to? Does the music come from master tapes? Well that would seem to be a pretty good place to get it

Sometimes I wonder, a particular song on qobuz doesn’t sound very good and I know I’ve heard it better in the past. And most stuff sounds pretty good and comparable to other sources.

So many versions exist on qobuz of the same album.  Frankly I don't know what the record companies sent over.

I don't care about the licensing.  Tidal crops the top on the bottom of the frequency ranges to do their stupid Mqa crap. Sucks.

I wish qobuz did a better job of updating their material with roon. So many times I search on roon it's not there and then I search on qobuz and find it. Why is that?

Is it possible that the streaming companies may be forced to choose from multiple pricing levels for what they get and in some cases they don't get the premium Quality Recording and pay for a cheaper recording and hope they can get away with it.
