Hi Reg19 and welcome.
No expert here but.
My experience is that Qobuz sounds better than Tidal.
Have never had an Apple tv but not surprised it is bottom of the list in sq, I do have 3 Chromecast Audio pucks and imho they are the best bang for the buck for streaming on the market, pity Google discontinued them.
Again not familiar with the HEOS app but I am going to hazard a guess here as I see the same thing when streaming Qobuz via my phone.
You likely need to check the streaming while mobile permissions for the apps on your phone. Default is usually set to some lower quality to save data charges etc. I set all of mine to highest possible which was 192/24 for Qobuz.
That right there could explain a lot if you are streaming at vastly different rates from the differing devices and services.
Good luck
