Do You Love Your Pono?

Oh and as said in previous post, file transfer is sooooooooooooooo long ! I can't believe it's just because of usb 2, my phone is usb 2 either and it's not that long !

Sound is great! I'll put it on shuffle through my fairly serious sound system and find myself listening all day like I used to in the vinyl days. Definitely different and better somehow. Maybe science says hi-res is bogus after a certain level but my experience says otherwise. Can one quantify how we hear when part of the equation is "feel"?
Speaking of feel, in the car I can skip, pause and replay without looking which is really, really cool. Having raised buttons works better than doing the same on an iPod. The Pono touch screen works fine for me (when it doesn't freeze).
The file transferring, PMW, spontaneous ejecting of the player when connected to the iMac have all driven me crazy since November. Horrible experience. No satisfaction from Pono on why the player ejects if I simply bump the table. I no longer sync but that means no new playlists. Not so good.
So, Ponoplayer, great; JRiver, overly complex (to me) and buggy.

MyKart:
No. The music files sound great. If you can't hear the difference, you aren't comparing apples to apples or you have a tin-ear. However, the player, itself, sucks. Buggy interface, buggy PonoMusic App. Not worth $400 until improvements emerge.

Come on, why isn't my Pono ejected when I push the first eject button ???

Try the new build posted today (20.0.75).  One click of the 'Eject' button in PMW will eject both storage devices.

JohnT, I've tried, it's fine. nice to see you're so responsive ! Thank you.
