Re: [SurroundSound] Neil Young's Pono Player ....

I tend to agree with Steven with this one.  IMHO, the absolute sound quality of CD is plenty good enough if proper care and handling is taken during the mixing and mastering steps.  Take a listen to the Grateful Dead's "American Beauty" on HDCD and Creedence Clearwater's whole collection available on K2 and see what you think.  These are available from the usual source.

I have some Sony Super BitMapped, HDCDs, K2 and K2HD (all 44.1 kHz, 16/20 bit) CDs that sound absolutely fabulous, as good as anything I've heard with 96 kHz, 24 bit albums.  And it seems to me that the supreme care that was taken during the K2 and others' processes made all the difference in the world.

Check out this link for more info. on the K2 process, well worth the read:
