I think the Pono kickstarter funds would have been better spent on subsidizing the recording companies to offer 24/192 "master" tracks as downloads. Pono could establish a standard (including compression limits and formats) and if the recording meets the standard, they get subsidized. This way there is an immediate financial incentive to offer 24/192 and all of us get the benefit of downloading these hi-res tracks.
Then the standard could have been proposed to Apple and Samsung so that their next generation phones and tablets would have this capability. This is the way to get it to the masses, not offering a proprietary player hardware and a licensing scheme. How many people want a cell-phone and a portable music player?
