While some may differ, I feel that the CD was at a pinnacle of

I think that's a reasonable statement. While there are plenty of
higher-quality formats available, all of them seem to be declining in
the mass consumer market or selling only to niches. Obviously, lower-
quality/lossy formats like mp3 are good enough for most people. I
really don't see that changing any time soon.

That's very well arguable. This being a pro audio group ,
I believe that 96dB and 22050Hz bandlimit is sufficient
