I am a "lossless" snobOf course, why would anyone spend all that money on the best kit in the world only to feed it the "garbage" of lossy music.

But are we close to the online streamed lossless nirvana I have in my head or is it still a few years away? Is downloading 256k music that far away from downloading Apple Lossless or FLAC Lossless?

Perhaps I should ask Apple.
