Sorry JE, missed the joke in the thread I guess :-).
Agree.
As far as I know, the masses did not ask for hi-res streaming. And certainly nobody asked for this kind of strange hodge-podge of proprietary encoding, lossy ultrasonic reconstruction, strange claim of time-domain accuracy (hard to imagine how they can achieve this in the vast majority of records), etc.
I really cannot imagining anyone thinking the scheme is such a good idea if one took some time to consider what they're doing, the obvious limitations, and loss of freedoms for end users with standard DACs and ability to use DSP.
IMO, this will obviously fail. It was destined to be so since the beginning simply because it doesn't offer anything of obvious benefit.
