The Great Digital Swindle! --(Downloads)

[Mahatma]

It's strange viewing the audio community from somewhat outside.Twist and bicker if that or this sounds better.If some small detail may sound better on what medium.I have found 320kb/s mp3 to sound damn good on portable devices.Yes CD's sounds better on a high end setup,and SACD (probably) even better.But what's missing from this equation is the source,the music and lyrics which is the meat of this dish.Kind of like movie afficionados debating the merrit of the transfer rather the movie itself.

I wonder what that PONO thing-a-ma-jig which Mr.Young is flaunting is the mirical cure...

And from an anatomical point of view:maybe the youths should be given the very high end HIFI equipment and the the old farts-like me-just settle for the medium stuff
