How strange it is for Neil Young to find out going digital didn't work out for him. Wasn't he the one responsible to oppose digital music in the first place? What happened to the infamous MAD?

 

No matter what new format going to come in the future, nothing is going to convince people they need higher resolution than the 16/44 format. 99% would be contend with 320mp3. I foresaw dead of Pono.  

 

More correctly, Neil Young opposed CD quality digital music. He championed high resolution digital.

 

What is not needed is a "new format...to come in the future". Regarding the need for high resolution digital, I believe that the majority of members of this forum and the audiophile community do not need convincing. They were convinced long ago. As to the general public, many of whom were weaned on mp3, you are probably correct. But that is no reason why those who appreciate the superior sound quality that high resolution digital can provide should not continue to enjoy it.
