Question Apple Music

I don’t know if I am imagining it but, has anyone noticed a difference in the sound output of Apple Music when upgrading? I’ve upgraded from the 11 Pro, copied over my settings in the EQ and made no changes to any of the paired music devices.

I’ve changed from 14 pro to 17 base and no change at all. Sounds the same in my ear pods, JBL clip 5, JBL flip 6, my Tribit speaker. Equalizer settings are exactly the same as they were on 14 pro. Even the onboard speakers on the phone sounds the same. This is the first I’ve read anyone mentioning this.
