I think the likely outcome of something like what is described in that article is that two tiers will emerge: a basic consumer level one and one aimed more at audiophiles (just as HD and Blu-Ray technology works in terms of DVD). There will always be a market for quality reproduction, even if, as is the case now, it's something only a minority are interested in.
