Apple is adding Hi-Res Lossless Audio support to Apple Music on Apple TV 4K with the upcoming tvOS 27 update. The change raises the prior 24-bit/48 kHz ceiling to 24-bit/192 kHz for users with compatible external speakers, delivering what Apple calls studio-quality sound.

This can result in an improved listening experience, although to what extent is debated.
