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.
