I feel like I hear a clear different in sound quality when I use Apple Music vs Qobuz. I'm not sure about Spotify though. The bass sounds "softer" and less prominent, the mids sounds less clear and the highs are less prominent on Apple Music. I know they are both lossless but I can't figure out why there is a clear difference. Just my 2 cents

If you hear a difference in EQ balance, then you could either be listening to different master recordings of that specific album or there's a disparity in volume between the apps that is making you perceive the music differently.

Streaming music services don't have inherently different sound signatures, though - if all variables are equal, they sound the same.
