This new S7/S7 Pro platform (not to be confused with aptX Lossless) allows headphones and speakers to connect to phones using "micro-power" wifi for up to 192kHz lossless music quality in the S7 Pro. Some other features includes better adaptive ANC and more powerful DSP.

If a company like Qudelix makes a 5K with this WiFi lossless support, it’s game over.

Not “wifi lossless” but lossless via wifi. Even the slowest standard, wifi b (2.4ghz for less power consumption), supports speeds up to 11mbps.

BT 5.0 supports up to 2mbs at a shortened range.

Stereo PCM 32B 96Khz is about ~6mbps.
Stereo PCM 24B 48Khz is about 2.5mbps.

I do think there’s still a major difference between Bluetooth and lossless on high-quality speakers or headphones, and once this is figured out then it will obsolete the need for wired connections.
