Not everyone is as cynical as Abe

The Pono player looks to be a reasonably priced, for the SQ, player. I don't know how it compares to the A&Ks or the others but I'm confident that it doesn't suck. People can buy it or not; I have no idea why Abe has to dump on it.

The Pono Music store is the real boon for computer audiophiles. It gives us more choices and, I suspect, will lead to all new releases being available in hi-rez. Abe's cynicism does not change the fact that NY has captured the attention of the music industry executives, producers, and musicians. Pono can certainly improve their website but, hey, they just got started. I'm disappointed that the prices are so high (CD rez titles should sell for, maybe, $10) but they're not any higher than HDT or the others. I have found one CD-rez for $8 on Pono, as well as a 24 bit Norah Jones for $12. So, maybe we'll see better values in the future?
