    The Pono Player Impressions Thread

    I've had my Neil Young signature series Pono for a few weeks now, time to share some thoughts about it. I have only used it in single end mode, not balanced yet.    First, the sound quality is really very good. The presentation tilts just a bit to the lean side, with a nice air to the treble...

    PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player

    I'm wondering....on July 23, an invitation was sent out to kickstarter backers to attend a Pono listening party in San Francisco on Friday August 1st. The invitation was limited to the first 50 backers to RSVP. Were any of our Head Fi brotherhood lucky enough to get in on that? If so, I would...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Ugh, that case looks awful. At first glance it appears to be scraps of duct tape wrapping the player.

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

          Jeff, it might be the cable you are using between CCK and the CLAS-db. The CLAS-db (and Theorem 720) are dual-use on the mini USB input. Computer or i-device. It "auto senses" which device is connected by the way the mini USB cable end is configured. Regular USB, "computer" uses pins...
