I read where it would be a higher priced option for people who want it and have something to play it on, so if you can hear the difference and like it, you can opt to pay more. I think it will be useless for most popular music recordings, which are so overdriven (turn it up to 11) that high quality sound is moot. Every drum beat sucks the life out of other instruments and distortion (not the deliberate kind) abounds. It doesn't make much sense to get a high bit-rate version for this, but on those rare occasions where somebody still records good sound and you're going to play through a decent system, it might be cheaper than $50 vinyl disks and nearly as good.
