Supposedly if the airplay dialog shows a plain check mark it’s a lossless stream versus if it shows a circle check it’s not. The moode stream info always shows 16/44 PCM though so who knows. If you tap the lossless tag in Apple Music it’ll show the source format.
One thing you might try for Apple Music anyway is checking the streaming quality is set to lossless in settings which does then show lossless on the playback screen but still the circle check. Hi-res requires a usb connection directly to your dac from an iPad or whatever, I don’t have my iPad here to try that out and see how that works out but I assume you’d then just switch inputs on your dac to go between moode or streaming.
