" Too bad the overall audiophile market is too small to justify true high quality native high resolutions at what would be a reasonable price. I guess there just aren't enough of us?"
Not only are there not enough audiophiles but even within this cohort there may not be enough that really care about hi-res. Many hold that 16/44.1 is adequate (and properly done it is indeed very good) or are vinyl only collectors. Further outside of classical music and maybe a couple of other minority genres the original recording quality is at an all time low. Given the loudness wars, what is the point of a 24 bit replay system when the dynamic range of the recording itself can be catered for in a 2 bit recording system? For rock/pop they don't even record in proper stereo any more! No wonder many of the general public say "I can't tell the difference".
Further most of those 70,000,000 tracks are legacy repertoire recorded decades ago. They will never be native hi-res.
