Seriously not interested in having my brain shame tickled, I'll continue to stick ear dice in just the tip style, thanks.

Lossless is relevant regardless of what some objective measures say or what even a blind test says. The entire audiophile community is the evidence. They can also point to measurable distortions and debatable issues in the audible spectrum when compression is at play.

Also I can't connect more than 2 devices to my Bluetooth device right now, and even that is very new. That's a lot less than 10. The point is we need to be able to connect a full power speaker setup, audiophile grade headphones, a keyboard, a mouse, a dac/amp stack, and a webcam all at once with low latency and no interference and full bore uncompressed audio quality maintained on each device for audiophile products to move fully wireless. You won't ever convince audiophile diehards that their music sounds the same on Qobuz vs YouTube Music or Spotify on Bluetooth as is. We're not talking about a room full of 100 average people, we're talking about the one person in the room who cares. When the room has 8 billion people, that's still a market large enough to sustain wires for some time until a wireless tech can stream full bore FLAC without compression from an average phone.

Nah. Not until bluetooth can carry a truly uncompressed hifi signal. For that reason alone there will always be a market. If only 1 percent of the global pop cares and has the means for audiophile grade, that's still 80 million customers.

Latency will reduce to the point that it doesn't matter, just as it has for the enthusiast and gaming mouse space, at which point it will begin to disappear.

The day when you can connect 10 Bluetooth devices and play lossless with very tiny latency, yeah, it will be. That day will come. There was a time when we couldn't imagine photos becoming comparatively trivial in terms of storage space, 4k60fps gaming, etc. There's only so much data in a stereo recording, and it will be solved one day.

Messing with the numpad is unforgivable. Just get a tkl.
