Not what I'm saying at all

All I'm saying is that PONO is not a panacea - and in Archimago's article, he exposed some of the dangers that could put PONO on a par with other "hi-rez" download sites (such as HDT) in terms of restricted dynamic and frequency ranges even in so-called hi-rez downloads. These problems are not unique to PONO, but, as I said, it will be nice to get a critical mass of spectrographs to confirm whether a file being sold as hi-rez actually IS hi-rez. There is one small classical site (I can't remember the name now) that DOES provide spectrograph information on its site for every download that it offers. There's no reason that ALL download sites couldn't do this. I think there's also a part of the Computer Audiophile site where contributors are encouraged to post their own spectrographs of recordings they've downloaded - sometimes very useful.
