    Is anyone familiar with PONO Music World? What's it all about? My brother is a serious audiophile and he uses this software. Asking him is impossible, he starts speaking Greek.

    • it's just really really high quality digital music files that works best with really high quality hardware (DACs, amped headphones, etc)monospaced
    • well i like the sound of that. would i get the best effect using Top notch headphones and my MBP?HijoDMaite
    • ummm, talk to your bro about that ... you would probably need that DAC toomonospaced
    • Really high quality how? 32bit wav's or something?section_014
    • a LOT of people would argue though, that files sampled at that rate are not perceivably higher quality than CDs ... there's a lot of debate around thismonospaced
    • the promise is CD quality (44.1k bit rate) or higher, which is a lot better than say... Spotify or normal streaming servicesmonospaced
    • PonoMusic just seems to be another music store to purchase and download files. You could rip a CD without any added compression for the same result, basicallymonospaced
    • Going to look in to it. if i cant afford the gear for a serious setup it would be nice to experience the high-end sound with just the price of headphones.HijoDMaite
