The market is increasing to niche customers... macro wise it's still tiny... look at Best Buy as a dumb example... they used to have a higher end listening room, most people do not care about that anymore.

Most people also stream music which is the worst quality imaginable unless you have Tidal Masters or FLAC audio.

My hearing above 10k is shot and I don't notice huge differences between tidal and Apple Music. I do notice big differences in speakers and amps, mainly speakers of course
