Neil Young launched a Kickstarter campign for a high quality music listening device.
Great idea, but I somehow I feel the design & branding is a bit off. Discuss.

Interesting concept. Personally, I try to find older albums in .wav or at least 320 mp3's, but they're all on iTunes or whatever in 256 VBR. It doesn't sound bad, but I'd rather have the waves.
I'd use the download service, but wouldn't use that goofy fucking device.

I'm intrigued. I guess you would need awesome speakers too.

I used to be a sound nazi, but nowadays I don't even buy albums anymore, except for a few vinyl and only because of the album art. I get my music from soundcloud and spotify. it's kinda pathetic but I dont want cds anymore

do we need such a one-trick-pony device nowadays? also imo it looks like those waterproof plastic floaty containers you can put your keys in when boating.

Let's see. It shaped oddly and it's one letter away from porno.
