Price Trends for Streamers?


I’ve been waiting to jump into the streaming scene — Mac>Airport Express>tube integrated amp, at present.  Just out of curiosity to those of you better acquainted with high rez streaming than I, do you think we’ll see a price drop with streaming components anything like what’s been the historic case with flat screen TVs over the next 5-10 yrs?
I keep wondering if Apple will pull an Apple TV (the device) high-resolution-music-streaming update out of their hat some Monday morning That will knock the high-end industry for a loop.
What about the subscription services?  What are the chances we’ll see a price war with the end result of high rez music streaming services being much closer to a basic Netflix/Hulu type subscription than they are presently?

What do you think?

Apples business model is scale I don’t see them bothering with the miniscule audiophile market. Subscription services are probably the same deal you can get the lower tier for the price of Netflix now which is probably their biggest market.
