Engineers at Neil Young’s company admit doubts on music player

March 12, 2015 ohm

While this article is now a couple months, it is no less relevant. This quote from Monty Montgomery sums up everything of import regarding hi-res music:

““Neil is advocating for good sound, and I think that is a noble and good thing that will benefit people,” Montgomery says. “I just object to where science is being misrepresented.””

He explains the ridiculous 16-bit 'stair step' graphs we are now used to seeing:

“Nonsense, says Montgomery, who explains that the samples actually serve as plot points that are used by music software to draw continuous, analog-form waves. CD-quality files are more than enough to generate smooth waves for all frequencies detectable by human ears, he adds.”

MacRumors: hi-res 24/192 possibly coming to iTunes

April 11, 2014 ohm

Neil Young's successful Pono has proved that there is a market for hi-res with mass-market appeal. If Apple can levy the necessary brunt behind the music-sales market to push competitive pricing to the masses -- not to mention, if rumour is founded -- 2014/2015 may be the first year of a penetrative market for hi-res audio. 

Of course, Apple need to upgrade iOS software to properly handle the needs of hi-res audio. You can be sure, Ω will follow this closely.

Thanks MacRumours
