Streaming resolution

Higher sampling rates require higher levels of clock accuracy.  Your clock has to time the delivery of many more sample in the same time slice. 

I think you got something there, makes sense to me. 

Excellent post. 

If the original recording is 16/44 every higher resolution version of it is remastered. In my experience the quality of these remasters varies greatly and it can result in 16/44 redbook version sounding superior to the remastered high resolution version in some cases.
Add to this the quality of associated equipment and how different resolution files are processed by the same DAC. 
I use both Tidal and Qobuz. If I really like an album I just add the best sounding version to my library. 

Any higher sample rates require harsher filters, and that has a negative impact on the ‘natural sound’ my system can produce in abundance. 

not necessarily... just better filters that more suited to the chosen sample rate...

My understanding is that as the sampling rate goes up, the less steep (less harsh) the filtering needs to be, to avoid aliasing.

yes that is understanding that leads to the whole the idea of oversampling the digital signal prior to conversion
