Oh but they do know. They just don't care.
Music consumption has changed a lot the last years. The people who enjoy
quality music on their high quality music sets are a dying breath. 
The new generation is fine with mp3 and this Pono player will not change
that.

And that's a fail right there. Why would anyone enjoying mp3 format
today want to pay 400$ for a player that does the same thing as their
existing player?

No I don't think that. 
If Neil Young understands what is wrong with the quality today he would
not come up with a Pono player. He's efforts are in no way addressing
any of the issues we have in regards to quality. Given the fact that
Neil tries to address the quality issue with a player leads to the
conclusion that he either does not understand the issues (like so many
in the industry) or he is using his name and fame to create a nice
income for himself. 
I find none of these reasons anything to applaud.
