Apple Music hi-rez versus Qobuz hi-rez sound quality

Why does Apple Music sound thicker (instruments not clearly defined) vs. Qobuz hi-rez of identical tracks? My M1 Pro 14" laptop acts as the source feeding a Schitt Audio Modi+ dac feeding a Schitt Audio Magni+ headphone amp.

Sound Equaliser I have a MacBook Pro M1. Is there an app I can use to adjust the sound settings similar to the equaliser in Apple Music. My son talked me into using Spotify and its not as good as the Apple settings.

Loss of volume on Apple Music playing on Macbook Pro 16 I've just encountered this problem, although I see others have experienced it as far back as nearly two years ago: Songs played on Apple Music are now barely audible on my Macbook Pro, whether played through the built-in speakers or via Bluetooth. I just edited a track using Logic Pro and Adobe Audition that plays at a normal volume in either program but is dramatically lower when imported into Apple Music. Specifically, a track that was registering at about 75db when played on Logic Pro through the Macbook Pro speakers (Logic Pro audio level set at 0.0, Macbook Pro volume set at about 90%) was about 54db when played on Apple Music. This drove me for the first time to fiddle with the equalizer, which I have never had to do previously. Is it possible that a preference file or something else in the program got corrupted, and that could be causing the problem? The same track plays perfectly well through Apple Music on my iPhone 12.

Sound output quality on Mac Mini M1 I have my music collection on Apple Lossless format. I just bought a new Mac Mini M1 running on Big Sur, and I am now using Music as the player. My old Mac Mini (2012) has Sierra, and I am using iTunes there. On my new Mac Mini, I am not getting the same quality of sound, even though I am using the same amplifier and speakers. Is this a known problem? Does anybody how to improve the quality of the sound on a new Mac Mini M1? I made sure the EQ is setup the same way, and I also checked the Audio MIDI setup. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
