RE: I only looked at the pictures....

An anecdot... As I was browsing the pono website, I came across an album from the Red Hot Chili peppers i enjoy anywhere but on a hifi system: Californication. The cd is awfully compressed, scoring a DR of 4 (!). 8 bits would suffice. Pono sells a "hires" version... I have not listened to it as I doubt any remaster can save this album. Most remasters these days further reduce the dynamic range. The industry is not going to get converts by offering hires files that do no better than a cd, or fully exploit the potential of 16/44.1.
