Hahahahaha
Does it say anywhere, what type of files it will play?
Yes. The Pono files are differing types of FLAC (normal FLAC up to 192/24 FLAC). The player itself also plays (from the Kickstarter):
...can play almost any kind of music track including FLAC, ALAC, mp3, WAV, AIFF, AAC (unprotected)...
In my opinion, good music is 49% the source material, 49% the final speaker or headphone you use (when amped to a satisfactory level) and maybe 2% DAC, amps, cables etc. So all the big talk about the superior components mean nothing to me as long as I don't also upgrade my cans or speakers. Also what use is all this technology of I'm listening on a noisy bus...
If they have the better sources though...I'd gladly pay.
Imagine a true nice "audiophile grade" remaster of Californication...(I saw a lot of RHCP members in the Kickstarter video)
