ok we just did a blind test. my daughter scrambled up four playings of "this beautiful day" -- cd quality and hi res, for my wife and me. We are both over 50, and my wife is not nearly as into music as I am. Absolutely no question -- we said hi res, cd quality, cd quality, hi res. Huge difference. My wife said "our stereo has never sounded so good." Try it yourself. You don't need a ponoplayer to play the flac files, just download the program pono musicworld. The program is free, the flac files will cost you less than a couple of bucks each.

NO IT'S "AURAL BUTT SNIFFING". I DON'T APPRECAITE QUALITY PRESERVATION ON ANYONE'S PART, I JUST LISTEN TO 64KBPS WMA FILES AND NEVER TAKE SHOWERZ

Nice to know my little 'quip' is still festering under your flea infested skin, you cheeky kitty.

All I can say is based on my own reactions and those of others here, "ponostore" is one of the worst f*cking brand names I've ever seen.

Every time I glance at this topic, it reads as "pornostore".

Didn't they send this thing through market research and focus groups before running with a name that is that easily mistaken for pornostore? Unless that was the goal to get the young demographic. Neil, that cagey guy he is and all that...

I went ahead and purchased the HDTracks version of No Pier Pressure this weekend. Overall, I *do* feel there is an improvement in sound quality that surpasses the CD version. The mix is crisper and a little fuller. While I think folks can make due with the CD version, the 24-bit version isn't bad and it's the version I will listen to on my computer.
