>So to you, that Pono player isn't snake oil?
It's more the 192kHz sampling rate that renders the Pono player into snake oil territory. The extra bits probably aren't getting you much, but the ridiculous sampling rate can only *hurt* audio quality, while consuming that much more battery and storage. -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp
