My opinion may be controversial on a hifi forum but it is that the difference in quality in the various recordings we play is often, almost always, way, way more than the difference between the various inputs you mention.
I get superb results from well recorded CDs and awful results from nasty loudness wars CDs.
I don't subscribe to a streaming service but I slightly prefer my CD transport to ripped CDs.
Higher resolution than 16/44 is a waste of money IME, so I have stopped buying any. FWIW.
