If you're talking about streaming the Apple Music service via iTunes then YES, Tidal -should- sound noticeably better because Tidal streams at a higher bit rate ("CD quality"). Like many other popular music streaming services like Pandora and Spotify, Apple Music also uses lossy compression and a lower bit rate.
However, if you are talking about playing your OWN music files from your computer using iTunes, then the quality will depend a lot on whether you used no compression, lossless compression, or lossy MP3 or AAC compression when you 'ripped' your CD's to create your music files.
