Yes and No...
Yes, I saw/heard some exhibitors with music on servers, that I felt was limited in scope, and insufficiant quality to show what I wanted to hear (dynamics, range, complexity, whatever).  It can be used as a convienient "reason" not to be able to play CDs or LPs people bring.  On the other hand, some had a good selection of good music and one even stoped to rip a Rachmaninoff CD to his hard drive that I wanted to hear. 
Also--
There were seminars going on all weekend, put on not by re-sellers, but manufactures, or I should say the actual engineers, as to problems, and what's being done about them.  Plenty of time for Q & A, and time to talk with them after.  It was good to see various engineers agreeing on the problems, and directions they were going in solving them--jitter, clocking, cables, filters, power, etc. 
And none of it was "buy my product," believe it or not. 
Yes, the problem exists, but people are working on it, at least at some level.
