I am quite new at this, on the older side, and trying to decide whether to go with a dedicated PC in the near future or wait for one of those Pono players. If it takes off I am wondering if down loading from their proposed store and running the hi rez files through the Pono player and onto my pre amplifier will be just as good as using a PC. A good basic from what I have seen can be put together for a bit more than the Pono, which will be 400.00 initially. Since I have not dedicated myself either way ( and coming from cd play back - plus various blu ray concerts on the home theater set up in 5.1 playback )they both look up to the task. Of course, I will be looking at the audio only blu ray releases forth coming as well which is another source. Any thoughts on the merits of either option?
