RE: Not what I'm saying at all

As Merman wrote below : "The Pono release is only as good as the original master."

ie, Pono *is* on par with HDT and the rest in that they can only sell the files that they get from the labels. As far as I know Pono does not do any mastering, so why should Pono be held to a higher standard than other retailers of downloadable files?

The main benefit of Pono is all the publicity/awareness generated by Neil Young. If successful, we should see more and more new releases in 24 bit plus re-mastering of older material. But NONE of this will be done directly by Pono.

IOW, I think it is unreasonable to hold Pono to a higher standard than the other hi-rez retailers. They are neither better or worse, just with a bigger catalog and the gravitas to get artists/labels to release more titles in hi-rez.
