PONO was a big discussion point in the Hi-Fi community sometime last year. I for one don't want to buy my music again in a proprietary format no other player will play.

The majority of my musical media is in either vinyl or commercial CD format so I will not be buying this either. I have long avoided compressed, lossy formats.
I am sure the debate on formats will enter the realm of 'zip wire v. Monster cable' or 'digital v. analog'.

Neil Young will be on The Tonight Show tonight Feb 3 and even more exciting to me Doc Severinsen will be sitting in with the house band.

Most people consider CDs to be a lossless format. This may not be technically correct, but is a commonly accepted premise when used as a frame of reference in comparison to MP3s, etc.
