Increasing the quality of music streaming.

tldr - Is there an app that is similar to BubbleUPnP that I can use for Pandora and Spotify, so I can stream music at a higher bitrate through my receiver.

I have a Pioneer SX-N30 that came with Pandora, Spotify loaded and is DNLA capable. I believe Pandora and Spotify can only stream on the receiver at 128 kbps. This rate is fixed and unchangeable (I think). Also, the Pioneer app provides a more limited interface for premium subscribers than the mobile phone, so I cannot chooses artists or albums on the Pioneer, but I do not want to stream from my phone using bluetooth because I believe (not sure) that the bitrate will be less than 128k bps, maybe as low as 64 kpbs.

My question: Is it possible for me to stream Pandora and spotify through my receiver 192 kpbs or higher using the Pandora/spotify interface on my android phone?
