Hypothetically, you could say bluray is overkill at 45 (give or take) inches visually, since you really wont see the extra detail unless your sitting inordinately close. 4k uhd only you probably would hit overkill around 60 inches.

Using this as a metaphor for audio (no sure if youd measure it in mbps or what as an equivalent to inches on a screen to format as i presented but in audio) at what point would someone like me, who is willing to buy a nice system (as i stated above)but not crack the bank ...or simply at what poiny would I just get nothing more out of the audio giving equipment limitations.

Overkill doesnt intend to be critical of an audio format or the amount of potential in it..but in relation to what is actually used by the equipment.

Hope that made sense...if you wanted an example more concrete how much more do I get out of bluray audio than say amazons prime best downloads giving one is using a nice full system that isnt “high end” ( although id prefer a technical answer as well, curious about how to measure. I have been want to get into the audio side more and the understanding would help.
