False claim based on faulty accounting. At this point a good SS music player (Sansa Clip) can cost as little as $39.95 while the high end version of the same thing (Pono) runs about 10 times that. In ABX testing they can reasonably expected to be indistinguishable. The Clip can only lose $39.95 of its value because then it would be free. The Pono probably loses $39.95 of its value before it has been fully walked out of the store. This also applies when you compare good AVRs to tubed power amps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103980 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
