Depends. I doubt a true audiophile would bother with any compressed music system. It's not cheap, but I would think they would be more likely to use something like Yamaha's MusicCast Wireless Multi Room HiFi.

BTW, yes, I know that the Yamaha site talks about playing MP3s, but I have it on good authority this plays back WAV files as well.
