.... I still think the main reason for music to sound like crap today is neither gear nor bit rate or depth, but mastering quality.

 
I certainly don't disagree.
 
 
So all in all I am not keeping my hopes up that most music will sound democratically good soon.

 
 
I'm not naive; just trying to be optimistic!

I think it would have already happened if Jobs hadn't passed.
 
Nowadays, it seems Apple's just run by unimaginative bean-counters sat around a boardroom table, rather than innovators in brainstorming sessions.

True but I am also guessing that storing high rez files will cost more dollar and likely decrease the profit for them long term. Sadly the mass population is still very happy with mp3 player, even they will question why should anyone possibly want a file that just two track of it is as large an an entire album they have on their idevices. 
 
I am just glad sony is in it and I will do my best to support it, hope the rest of the world does too. Also we all have to be thankful to Niel Young, he is the only Musican I know of who used his power and the platform he has to demand for a better music replay production. Cannot wait to try out his pono too. All and all it is exciting time for us folks. 

 
I WANT to support it.  But Sony needs to help me by not making me jump through hoops to buy their hardware, e.g., the NWZ-ZX1.  If they don't release in Europe & the U.S., I don't see how they can seriously be seen as trying to up the audio game.  Just my 2 cents.

This is my first order from Price Japan. When should I expect a shipping notice/tracking #?

Considering they purchase the device from vendors or order it may be a while depending on stock. I ordered the pha-2 sametime i ordered the zx1 and they shipped the pha-2 within 12 hrs. I would assume depending when you ordered it may be another day or longer. When I ordered they said to expect around the 8th-10th for shipment. Got my pha-2 yesterday and they were cheaper then going through ebay sellers.
