Thank you for the thoughtful analysis...

I don't think that my perspective is particularly germane, but I would pay 10-20% additional for a notable improvement. Which, of course, is a very vague term.

My experience is, having worked as an audio salesperson in my 20s (now in my 60s), that, once heard, it is very hard for a person to unhear an improvement, so if the cost is incremental to the purchase price they will buy up.

But as you say, other than anecdotal reports by some of the press, we know neither the hardware cost increases nor if there is any subjective sonic improvement. There may be a back end cost as well. The cost of MQA encoded software may be higher and it will certainly be harder to share files.
