Downloading lossless to my iPhone?

So I guess I’m like 1 of 8 people that spent money purchasing a Wadia iPhone digital transport on the used market( because they are out of production) thinking that I could play lossless/ cd quality music from my already purchased iTunes music, on my entry level hifi Cambridge integrated Cxa80. So after hours of reading bits and pieces of what’s possible with iOS lossless and what’s not possible, I decided to go into an Apple store to find out from the corporation directly. I had to fib on my issues when trying to make the in-house appt because when I mentioned lossless it would direct me to an email chat that has been a waste of time in the past. So I get to the shop, tell them that I need help downloading lossless music from my iTunes collection,so I can enjoy my hifi system I recently purchased, the gentleman asked me with a straight face..” what is lossless”? So a 2nd guy listened to my question, and had to go research it in the back for 5 min, only to comeback to tell me that you cannot download iTunes music in lossless... you can only convert ripped music to the apples ALAC lossless.. but cannot convert or re-download purchased albums in lossless. Well isn’t that rich. Gentleman....( there’s no ladies on a forum like this) is this true?? I really didn’t want to set up a computer to purchase hi rez albums and plug into my amp, but if this is true, then that sounds like my next option. Any suggestions on how to get lossless iTunes music on my iPhone would be great.
My gear is recently used market 3/7 Dynaudio towers, Wadia digital iPhone transport, a new cxa80 digital integrated amp, an n-30 pioneer music streamer, a low cost 12 inch Polk sub($250 range) that I dragged out of my tv room,kimber braided speaker cables, and a shuyata venom power conditioner plugged into a cheap power strip without a surge filter.
Thanks for reading.
