In Reply to: It's tough being an audiophile these days... posted by vaudioville on February 26, 2015 at 04:08:47:
Here is a link to another article, which found that listeners could not distinguish iphone output from Pono output (or preferred iphone). He doesn't say what resolution was used--probably CD resolution on the Pono (since most Pono store tracks are 44.1khz flac) and 256kbit AAC on iPhone.
What jumped out at me though, was the photo of the A-B test equipment. Both players were going into a cheap Radioshack A-B switch, using what look like the cheapest RC cables (see attached photo). I would expect that switch and cables to constrain the sound (in the name of being more objective, we reduce the possible variation). I doubt that a Pono connected directly to a very nice pair of headphones would be subject to that quality of wiring.
