@h_schreiber If you believe in Pono’s claims about music quality, I have some gold-plated USB cables you might be interested in

@stilkov I believe that high res lossless audio formats do make a difference. Feel free to keep your gold.

@h_schreiber You’re the expert, but I believe you’ll be hard-pressed to debunk people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/de…

@stilkov It clearly states that lossless formats are the way to go. High sampling rates are unnecessary, but I still doubt the 16 bit claim.

@h_schreiber I don’t think it states that clearly at all :-)

@stilkov "Lossless formats like FLAC avoid any possibility of damaging audio fidelity with a poor quality lossy encoder, […]"

@h_schreiber Anyway, I don’t really mind people buying lossless because they want to be sure. 24bit sampling seems just bullshit, though.

@h_schreiber Am I’m 100% convinced (and willing to bet money) no-one is able to distinguish modern var-rate AAC from CD quality by listening
