Apple stores are boutiques designed to sell sex and glitz to the average consumer. The only way you'd get meaningful help there is if the store happened to have an employee for whom audio was a hobby.
Regarding what you got over the phone, you will get the same runaround if you call Dell, HP, etc. (I speak from experience). No manufacturer wants to comment on hardware components or make any sort of promise that their hardware will work with some 3rd party component.
There have been numerous posts on forums stating that the new MBP's have TI, but nobody has actually tried using one yet. So whether it really works or not is still TBD.
