I don't really care if 1080p is better than a black and white Magnavox if the only thing in 1080p is Dr Phil.  

Considering the music the OP is looking for I wouldn't worry too much about lossless vs 320k.  Most 50s/60s and classic rock will sound just fine at 320k.  Streaming is about convenience anyhow.  While I do find Tidal better sounding that Spotify or AM, their weak catalog is not worth the cost.  I end up using apple music to discover new music and then purchasing a lossless version or cd.
