Lossless audio in Apple Music is available for Apple TV 4K, not for earlier models. Apple TV 4K will need to be connected to an AV receiver for this.

Apple TV HD can reproduce ALAC files through Home Sharing.

I can't hear the difference

While the difference between AAC and lossless audio is virtually indistinguishable, Apple is offering Apple Music subscribers the option to access (select) music in lossless audio compression (ALAC).
