I'll be honest, I never find favor in delta sigma digital conversation. Despite the superiority in dynamic range and resolution, my ears go with my heart. Once I heard a true 16 bits, there is no turning back. The wonderful texture and presence are priceless. In comparison, the texture of delta sigma is washed out, it has gone even worse on a higher oversampling rate. In this account, you are right that I'm biased since I mainly listen to redbook.
For Gen Z, they are brought up in the digital age. Everything, their lifestyle is computer related, work, social media, entertainment and online shopping. Everything is revolved on their fingertip. They are living in a higher pace than their parent and the world will only get faster.
Music is feed by AI in accordance with your preference. No physical thing.
Even then, something will never change. The quality of sound and the good old yesterday's taste, they stayed in your memory. The sound of vinyl still has its charm.
My goal of my system is playing music, not resolution or sound because music resonates. The selling point of modern audio equates resolution to music, this is a big-time fallacy. And this probably the only selling point high-end audio is promoting. Theoretically, it makes perfect sense but in reality, this is something else. I once loaned a higher revealing cables to a friend, he returned back to me citing too many details to absorb, calling too much attention and inducing listening fatigue. OK, the modern recordings will have to share the blame too. There is another aspect of sound, psychoacoustics. Music listening at the finest hour is at the right music, at the time and at the right mood.
Don't be quick to point a gun at me, digest my thought and find if there any truth.
