RE: Tracks for Subjective Evaluation of Drivers and Loudspeakers / John Marks

IMHO it's not so much about "CD Quality" 16/44.1 vs 'hi-res' 24/96, 24/192, or greater resolutions in the playback file or stream.

It's more about the recording and mastering. You will find excellent examples of fantastic sound quality from some CDs and 16/44.1 streams. On the other hand a 'hi-res' 24/192 file or stream from a mediocre recording will sound mediocre.

Will ANY of these sound like your 33 1/3 rpm LPs? Probably not but that doesn't make the sound quality bad, just different. If you need your streaming service and playback to sound like LPs you might be out of luck.
