But using my AudioEngine 2 loudspeakers the difference between mp3 and CD can be quite staggering. My son can tell the difference between lossless and mp3 using his iPod via his car stereo.
You don't need high end equipment to hear what is obvious. And most decent mid fi gear these days does a fine job revealing recording quality - ie. if the high resolution version is better than the CD (and it very well might be) a good NAD/PSB system is more than one is going to need in order to know.
"Pono brings to the table I don't think it's going to sell very well to the normal music listener who sees $400 as a lot to spend on a player. "
That's my real problem with the PONO, even before spending the $400, one could easily think they need to buy those expensive reissues from the PONO music store. CD rips is all mp3 listeners will need to achieve musical nirvana. Do we want to educate the public on better sound or do we want to sell expensive remastered music? I don't know and I wonder how many musicians would be on this bandwagon if not for the Neil Young and the music store - they obviously didn't care much prior to PONO. Seems to me there's conflicting interests at work.
