I've got no issue with DRM on subscription streaming services.
The report doesn't seem to split out the proportion of download sales that are DRM-free. Quote:

All it tells me is that most people are more concerned with listening to music than owning it. Those who ARE interested in owning it still have easy access to legal DRM-free sources. Everyone's happy.

I have no objection to DRM on subscription services.

I've never encountered DRM on any of my purchases, just nice high-resolution sound, lending greater detail and more texture to my listening experience. I would rather purchase than stream my music, since I like to have it instantly accessible. I use my Astell & Kern AK100 II (which also doubles as my DAC, by the way), and my MacBook Pro, using the free 'Tomahawk' as my audio software, although I'm currently demo-ing both Amarra 4 and Audirvanna. Everything is connected to my gorgeous-sounding McIntosh MA7000 Integrated Amp, which has a very natural and neutral sound. |

Same here. I buy a fair amount of music, a lot of classical, but I also stream music from Pandora and Apple Music. I like having music (and movies and books) available for when Comcast is on the blink. I also like to use streaming music as background music. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I've bought some hi-res music from eClassical. None of the music that I've bought over the last decade has had DRM. I don't see that changing.

Its not just music most if not all media is moving towards drm with streaming. For videos we have netflix, amazon hulu etc. We have game streaming and renting services. As the world gets more connected chances are media creators and generators will move further towards renting and leasing you temporary rights for consuming rather than letting you own.

As another backup beside time machine and an unattached hard drive, you can download a free program called "Burn" and create DVD audio files at native resolution 96 or 192 24 bit. I do this as my last ditch backup, as most of these hi-res stores are not like books, they don't provide 'cloud storage'. You loose it, it's gone. |

I wish I had an Oppo, since I would really prefer not to use my computer at all to listen to high-res (or even regular FLAC) if given a choice. |

I wonder how the market for hi-res digital music compares to that for vinyl.
