What do you think the future holds for digital music/audio ?

It's an unfortunate placement of the statement about streaming- that should have been under the line about WiFi-6.
I know enough about BT to know that SBC and AAC are not high resolution codecs, but there are probably a lot of people who don't. Of course, if they are listening to BT music, they probably don't really care about high res codecs. I don't know if anyone buys Wiim products because of their BT capability.

BT 5.3 is good for LE devices like the remote control that stays connected and doesn't require re-pairing every time you want to use it, as long as the battery still has a charge.

I have a mini which is dedicated for bt transmit to a pair of earclips - casual listening to radio & podcasts.

i think wiim is trying to appeal to the mainstream 'decerning' listener and not 'audiofools' .. the fact that some have adopted the wiim i think is mainly because its very good value package. Many non 'audiofools' will indeed want to stream content from their mobile devices using 'hi res' bluetooth protocols.
As Mr Darko has explained many times the 'format argument' is a bit misleading and a unit that is based on 'hi res' audio streaming including 'next gen wireless streaming' to me that means not just 'wifi' but also bluetooth.

'unfortunate' .. i don't think so
