Wait! I forgot the BEST parts!

You decide you need proprietary decoding, which means the DAC must be able to "unwrap" your file, so you get DAC manufacturers to pay you a fee, and they have to send you their DAC and give you permission access it's DNA. And it gets better! You convince some idiotic record companies who would love to sell the 350th version of Kind Of Blue, to also pay you a fee.

You also claim that this process will save bandwidth for streaming, in a world where people are streaming HD Video without a hitch.

When 99% of DAC makers tell you they are not interested, you magically pivot to software decoding!
