no DSD support
no HD-PCM audio support

And I did flag the lack of high-res audio support prominently.

Mediocre sound for $4000 just to avoid speaker wires?

...where you got the "mediocre sound" part. The product sounded great.

Well, it doesn't support 24 BIT audio or DSD which are facts. Not my opinion. Native HD 24 Bit/DSD audio sounds better that 16Bit CDs. This system only supporting 16 bit audio in the year 2015 is mediocre, for a $4,000 dollars towers.

A robust 24-bit wireless transport system is not on the market yet (whether you can tell the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit streams in a blind A/B test using speakers instead of headphones is another story), so I'm afraid you won't be satisfied with any wireless speakers -- stick with wired speakers for the time being.

An Australian company called Moos Audio announced a wireless speaker called the Mini Aero back in 2013 that can wirelessly stream lossless audio up to 24-bit/96kHz and can play back audio up to 24-bit/192kHz from a wired digital input, but as of October 2015 that product is still vaporware.

Native recording at 24bit vs 16bit is easily identifiable. Native DSD is even more of a jump in quality. They have many disc with sample tracks in their native formats.

DTS Play-FI is almost there...hopefully with new wireless advancement, we would get a "audiophile" wireless speakers that would handle native DSD/24PCM audio.
