Not getting Apple Music in HI-Res lossless when playing from my iPhone 11 ProMax, iPad Pro 12.9" M1 nor MacBook Pro 16" Pro M1 Pro through an external DAC/Amp

As I noted in the header,

I am not getting Apple Music in HI-Res lossless quality (up to 192kHz) when playing from my iPhone 11 ProMax, iPad Pro 12.9" M1 nor MacBook Pro 16" Pro M1 Pro through an external Questyle M15 DAC/Amp dongle attached to iPhone 11 ProMax through Apple's own lightning to USB-C/USB-A combo adapter, attached to iPad Pro 12.9" M1 through USB-C adapter and attached to MacBook Pro 16" Pro M1 Pro through same USB-C adapter. Using the same three setups, I do get Apple Music streamed through all three but only under 44kHz. I am getting Amazon Music Hi-Res lossless music (above 44 kHz) when playing from the Amazon Music app on my iPhone and iPad devices. I do not have the Amazon Music app on my MacBook Pro, so no Amazon music testing on MacBook Pro.

I have an Apple Music Individual subscription with full rights to getting Apple Music HI-Def lossless when connected through a working external DAC/Amp as I have noted above and having verified that the DAC/Amp works flawlessly with another streaming music service in the same devices used for Apple Music.

Let me emphasize, I have the latest operating systems installed in all three devices :

iOS (16.5.1), iPad OS (16.5.1) and Mac OS (Ventura 13.4.1).

I signed-on to the paying Apple Music subscription strictly to take advantage of Apple Music High-Def lossless when available and after following Apple's own recommendations, I'm not getting the promised Apple Music quality delivery. I feel cheated.

Any suggestions out there as to what I may do to resolve the HI-Def Music problem?

Thanks to this community for reading through and for any feedback anyone may provide.
