CNN had the following article yesterday about Neil Young's Pono music player.
I had never heard about this.
What do you think about it?

    I think with popularity it had on Kickstarter that it might finally bring more Hi Res music to mainstream. Even if it doesn't do that fully, It certainly hit a nerve to show that there is a market for better quality sounding music.
