Why do most digital recordings online sound bad?

Forgive my ignorance. I like being able to click on a link on my computer and hear a song, but I notice that most of my CDs and LPs sound better than what I hear on Apple Music, YouTube Red or Amazon. Maybe I just need to use a good DAC rather than feed from the computer but I suspect it's more than that. I did use the internal DAC when I was listening through a ProJect Maia but have gone to a different amp. Is it the MP3 format that's the problem? Is there a free streaming service that provides high res or good res versions of Boomer classics, jazz and classical?

Thank you for any comments and please forgive my ignorance!

It's never too late to turn back the clock.
