He Peter,
It seems Pono uses the Meridian technology. Stereophile was very positive about it. And now I find Pono-flac-files on usenet.
Is this going to be in XXHE?

Hey Gerard, I don't think this is true. Pono had talks with Meridian at the very beginning, but then switched to Ayre. In any event, the Pono Player has nothing to do with MQA AFAIK. BTW, I have a Pono player - I bought one of the early limited editions. And I have to say that I think its sound quality really is great... even without MQA capability.
