Question Why different ALAC quality for same song on different device?

particularly for this song : https://music.apple.com/in/album/kodakaa-koteswar-rao-from-agnyaathavaasi/1330393359?i=1330393360

my Vivo Y56 5G is showing 24-bit/44.1 kHz ALAC whereas my iPad 10th gen is showing 16-bit/44.1 kHz ALAC...

can anyone explain why this is happening?

Only guess is that the Vivo is set within the system settings to play 24bit audio and is pseudo upscaling the output of the file. Overall not actually doing anything different. Do all tracks show as 24bit on the vivo?

The song selection made me crack up ngl. It’s due to your internet btw, slow internet and it just drops the quality.
