    No Code in 24Bit Flac HD?!?

    Hey demetrios, yeah that was my dream for pre-loaded onto the player but I guess they'll have to take more of my money.

    Anyone buy and try on existing equipment yet? How do they sound?

    Unfortunately we can't buy music yet. That functionality won't go live until the Ponos start shipping at the end of this month. It goes live first for Kickstarter backers when their orders ship. Probably won't be live for the public until mid-November.
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    I guess I'm not seeing it, but where in that link does it say that No Code will be in 24 bit? Most of the other albums come up when you search...will they all be 24 bit?

    It just seems like they're putting the catalogs on there with no resolution information. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the albums will still be CD quality.

    Was hoping they not include anything lower then 24bit Flac's @ their store.

    I think we're all hoping that. I guess we will have to wait and see. Interesting that Vs. and Backspacer don't show up in the listings. They've even got these singles on there:

    I Am Mine
    Light Years
    Merkinball
    Jeremy
    Last Kiss

    ..

    If all these new additions are in 24Bit format then we'll gonna need to pick up some additional SDXC microSD cards before Christmas.

    I am excited to receive my Kickstarter Pono Player. I am on tap to get one of the clear units in December (will not be surprised if these are delayed though). I can't wait to experience some of my favorite albums, digitally, in their purest form. Neil's interview on Howard Stern got me even more excited!

    That being said, does anyone have a recommendation for a good high-end set of headphones that would work well with this player. I am looking in the $200-$300 range and seems like there are plenty of companies with good headphones in this range (Shure, Audio Technica, Brower & Wilkens, etc). Would love some thougs.

    Also, I got one of the Neil Young posters and had it framed for my newly finished basements. Will post pictures once I hang it. Very nice piece....

    It is my understanding that pono has designed a special headphone set designed for the pono. I am going to try them out first.

    According to the FAQ on the Pono site, many of the Engineers use Sennheiser Momentums and Audeze Planars.

    I use Sennheiser Momentums to monitor the audio recordings for shoots here at work and can testify to the quality of this pair of headphones!!

    Personally...I prefer the "On-The-Ear" ones to the "Over-The-Ear" version,
    but some say you get a better listen with the "Over-The-Ear".
    GREAT headphones!!
