The source music in ultra HD is 24bit 96khz, but what you get depends on the playback device.
There is tons of music in ultra HD, at first glance.
The rest is CD quality or what Amazon calls HD.
You can download the songs to your device.
90 day free trial.
I just set up a few minutes ago.

I downloaded the iOS and Mac computer apps.

The high Rez is 24 96.

More in a few days after I explore the service.

This is where the 10 million High Rez songs on Amazon Music comes from.

How Many High Rez songs does Qobuz have????
On my iPad with Audioquest Cobalt and headphones I get 24bit 96khz playback on the ultra HD songs!

This is a game changer!
I have both Tidal and Amazon music an been using them on an iPad, MacBook Pro and Apple TV for the last few weeks.

They both sound good although I give Amazon the edge on sound quality.

I do not understand the complaints on Amazon sound quality. Some complainers must have sound system and DAC issues IMO.

The Amazon interface is much better than Tidal, which does not alphabetically list album and song lists. Big lists on Tidal are a mess to find a particular album or song.

I cancelled Tidal and started a yearly subscription to Amazon for much cheaper.

$240 a year is way too much for Tidal.
