Sound via laptop vs phone vs tablet


Using Spotify premium, with the same day/amp and headphones, the sound I get is better when using the laptop than phone or tablet.
Is there a way to rectify the situation?

Its all MP3 sound , dosen't matter....If you really want to hear a difference, Get a Audio Quest Dragonfly (red) DAC and plug it in USB and now you will have great sound!

 So just to be clear...If your using a laptop or smartphone/tablet you cant really take advantage of a high end service like Tidal for streaming? Because those devices are chopping up the data stream or unable to handle anything beyond MP3 quality?? So is that why companys like Aurender sell music servers (less expensive) and full function server/players with internal DAC's (more expensive).  Also, in order to listen to the new MQA format ill bet these lesser devices dont work at all right? Just trying to get this straight. Digital is so fun :-)
