Really? I get wanting high quality sounds, but isn't the format only one part of the puzzle? This seems to be selling something bigger than it really is.
And at least it's triangular. That'll bode well for the "in your pocket" jokes.

So what you're saying is that it's a gooped iPod Nano.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Neil Young is one of the people who started the idea of this thing. He's very anti-iPod because it doesn't sound as good as true recordings are.
Or something like that.

Neil Young hates mp3's. Like, alot. He's been on his grouchy old man kick forever.
I still buy cds and ipods can play flac, so I don't see the point - unless you're a boomer who doesn't get technology.

Yup. Most people (myself included) don't mess with FLAC because the files are huge. And most people (myself included) won't mess with PONO because the files are huge.

Note: Google translates ‘Streichfett’ to ‘spreadable fat’. Let us know if you’ve got a better translation!
Say it phonetically with a mind towards adult movies.
