Burning CDs of downloaded music


Is there a way to purchase/download individual songs and burn them to a CD while maintaining CD quality (16 bit, 44.1 kHz)?

I currently use a home theater subwoofer in my stereo.  I am considering upgrading my subwoofer.  Since my only recent reference is my stereo, I am not really sure what high quality bass should sound like.  I looked at subwoofer reviews on YouTube and unfortunately, I only own 2 songs from their playlists.  My thought was that I would like to get to know those songs from the reviews on my system so when I visit stereo shops I would have a better idea if I was hearing improvements.  I am not set up for streaming.  CDs are my only digital source and my DAC only has one SPDIF input.  If I could create my own compilation of those test songs on CD, I could understand their performance on my system and use the same CD in a stereo shop.  

If I can’t make such a CD, is there a less complicated way to figure this out?  I’m sure the stereo stores will have streaming.  But that doesn’t help me get to know these songs on my current system.

Qobuz is the place I use and you can buy them as well to download. I don't stream and just use them for playback on the car or media server. They don't have MQA either, the 44.1khz 16 bit FLAC is perfect. There's other hi-res versions but I don't bother anymore. The original SMSL M500 has two optical inputs, as well as headphone amplifier with the 9038Pro DAC it's got. Really useful if you need to expand with another optical.It has a remote control for switching.

If I download a FLAC file and burn that file to CD, will a CD player play the song?  I thought CDs stored music as .cda files.
