This past week I had the chance to listen to the Pono music player at dreamforce. I happened to have a classic iPod with me with ALAC files of a couple of songs that were in the demo units. I also had Shure in-ear-monitors I bought a few years ago with me.
The quick review: The music player sounds really solid, BUT... it was clear to me that we are listening to modern remasters. Doing direct comparisons is really impossible. That being said, I mostly really liked the remastering and the overall combination of player + new masters I was listening to with the exception of Miles Davis Kind of Blue. Great noise and clarity but the stereo field seemed exaggerated.
Full disclaimer: I only listened for a few minutes, and there was this model-gorgeous blonde listening to music across the table from me, so I may have been distracted.
