Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.

30 years ago, elderly schmos endlessly deplored the "kids" lack of interest in cars. 

What they really meant was that no one under the age of 100 gave a crap about $200,000 faux-Foose hot rods being driven 100 miles a year to cars and coffees and small-town parades.

Meanwhile, the kids were happily swapping, tuning and turbocharging all manner of humble Civics. But those aren’t real cars, you see! Rings a bell?

Another thing is, no one with intact cognitive abilities will tolerate being lectured about $1000 USB cables and $3000 network switches for long, nor about mummified Audiophiles prattling on about the unwashed proletariat’s envy of their highly resolving systems which they, of course, can’t afford. Just sayin

If kids love music (we know they do) and care about how it sounds (why wouldn’t they?), then at some point in their musical evolution they’ll arrive at the conclusion that 2-channel is where it’s at. Because it is. No worries!

You make a good point, in that today's 14-year-olds don't care much about sound quality, but neither did we at their age. And look at us now!

By the same token, your kid may very well be a dedicated audiophile some day. Just give them a couple of decades :)
