I believe the lower bitrate you quote is for Apple Music and AirPlay 2 which transmits 256kbps AAC streams. The bitrate for CD quality streams is up to 1440kbps and as I say, I understand AirPlay 2 can achieve 24/48 which is even higher.

Earlier this month I dug into Apple Music's Lossless and Hi-Res offerings, running several bit perfect rests on the audio output of my Macs and iOS devices. The results were less than stellar (link). This week I dug into Apple Music lossless over AirPlay. One would think that the results would be...
Not really sure coz the volume seems to be changing when switching. Also im new to hifi so i lack knowledge on numbers and graphs but earlier while switching back and forth i could hear some difference, like cymbals echoing at higher pitch but maybe it’s just the volume/normalization…

Yeah, that’s fairly standard for airplay on WiiM, although I wouldn’t get too hung up with the 900kbps figure as it seldom varies and doesn’t really say anything about the resolution/quality of what it’s sending. Like ChromeCast and AlexaCast, they’d be as well not displaying that 900kbps as it’s potentially misleading.
