Wouldn't the higher bit rate help though? I've long suspected my preference is largely due to the difference in mastering techniques more than any technical limitations.

I've never been able to enjoy listening to my favorite classical music on headphones or even smaller speakers, and it's largely because of the effect you describe.
At this point I'm resigned to preserving my treasured (and cumbersome) vinyl collections. Maybe if Apple comes up with some snazzy marketing term (e.g. "Retina") for 24/192 or even 24/92, and starts distributing it on iTunes, things might start to change.
Also, I hope the now backlit keyboards see some improvement in tactile feel, I thought these were a weak point on the previous generation.
