Apple Music audio quality settings missing on Mac

The audio quality options within the Playback settings for the Music app have recently disappeared. I previously used to be able to stream Hi-Res without a problem but only the video playback options are visible now. I have an external DAC and am an Apple Music subscriber, so I have no idea why this is not showing up any more.

apple music sample rate button I’m streaming Apple Music Hi Rez Lossless from iMac to external DAC and use Audio MIDI Setup to manage bit depth and sample rate output to avoid conversion by iMac. The button in play window at top of app to check native output within Apple Music has disappeared. Has it been relocated? A bug caused by Monterey? Where has it gone?

spatial audio selection greyed out on Macbook Pro M1 16 inch. Is spatial audio supposed to be supported for the new Macbook pro M1 2021 16 inch model? When playing music on the music app the spatial audio feature is greyed out and it only seems to work in Safari or on Apple TV.

Music application status bar inconsistency Music shows different formats for information in the status bar on my two Macs. Both are running Monterey 12.3 and Music 1.2.3.56. Besides not understanding why they are different, I can't find anywhere to update the status bar display formats so they match. Any help in explaining how to fix the status bar would be greatly appreciated. I'm not concerned about the syncing discrepancies at the moment, but if there's any feedback on that, it would also be welcome. Thank you. MacBook Air (2019) Mac Mini (2018)

Looks like there multiple of similar questions appearing today - I suppose it's some kind of Apple server problem

It probably is, judging by Apple's status site.
