RE: But when the Internet or cell service is in the loop

Then bandwidth becomes the big player.

Only if you assume streaming playback over cellular networks and that's not the question discussed here. I regularly download 24/96 albums in a couple of minutes to my computer. That versus days even for Amazon Prime to deliver CDs. Local brick and mortar stores rarely, if ever have the content. In fact, I have two used ones on the way now from them. Why? They are unavailable in a high rez downloadable PCM format.

It's why cell phone sampling rates are still so low.

I stream 24/96 content from my music server using the iPeng app to both iPhone6 and iPad Air2 (downsampled to 24/48 for their internal DACs) via WiFi. They are used as players in my garage system and for listening via IEMs at night in the bedroom.
