RE: Why do most digital recordings online sound bad?

What you suspect are indeed the reasons.

A good hi-res streaming service does not come free. Main candidates are either Qobuz or Tidal but you will need a DAC that will process <24/192 (Qobuz) or is MQA capable (Tidal). At this level streaming can be equal or superior to CDs.

This is a big subject and there is a lot to go into. However if paying a monthly subscription is beyond you then I would stick with your CDs and LPs.
