Ohhh kay..let's try this again.
You cannot allocate resources to a market, where there is no market.
Every single "high resolution" format has failed disasterously in the mainstream market. Like, were are talking the Titanic. SACD, DVD-A, you name it.
Even going back 30 years, boutique labels were the ones who were producing "master quality" LPs and CDs that sold a few thousand if it was a blockbuster..to the SAME 1% you refer to.
It is amazing how many times day I have to pop an audiophile bubble. My pin is getting dull.

And why do you think that was? The CD succeeded because EVERY piece of music was released on it. Let me say that agsin since you don't seem to appreciate the difference between 1 and 100.
DVD-A and SACD releases were spotty and token like the hi rez downloads today. Most of what you want is simply unavailable . It required special gear for playback. Today, even $99 DACs and smartphones support 24/88 or 24/96 ocntent. Duh.

And are utterly clueless as to economic failure of continuing to milk physical media. Switching over to downloads would reduce cost substantially and there is effectively no additional cost in providing the original master vs. some downsampled compromise as we find today.
If you're part of the music industry, it is easy to understand the failure the RIAA reports.
You can split hairs, rationalize, and be as idealistic as you want to be it won't change the facts.99% of the music buying public do not care, or know the difference.
No business can sustain itself catering to a small group... the 1%.

Why then do the geniuses in the music industry still produce and distribute CDs if MP3 downloads are "good enough"?
They piss away resources that could be better leveraged. It's apparent they simply don't give a $hit - and whine about the state of the market.
Again cd sales (in the US) are behind streaming and downloads

when consumers observe the obvious - and those actually in the industry demonstrate (vociferously) they are utterly clueless.
Go figure.
