    Got mine in the UK - number 119 of 495.
    Very good first impression.

    no tax?
    £75 in total - £50 in VAT and the rest duties and brokerage.
    Not ideal but I wanted my new toy so not even slightly bothered.

    My tracking information says I have to pay taxes and duties? Any other Canadians see this on their tracking?

    Mine say's .. "The receiver must pay the duties or taxes due on the package."

    Got mine in the UK - number 119 of 495.
    Very good first impression.

    Nice!!! :)

    Out of 495? I thought they sold 500 of these? Maybe gave 5 to the band?

    And your photos are driving me mad! Where's my shipping email?! :((

    No shipping email here yet, but I also was one of those who sniped mine in the last days from someone who let go of theirs.

    Interested to see how this compares to the other HighRes players. Sony has a really good one. Astell and Kern as well. Flac will always be such a limited market but im glad theres a few players in the game

    I'm pretty sure I am in the Top 5 maybe even first with the PJ Pono. I jumped on the Pono pretty much when it went live on Kickstarter and have yet to receive any shipping confirmation and am getting very nervous.

    May I ask where you live and did you order a PJ Pono? I'm curious because I'm waiting for a shipping confirmation for a PJ Pono to Ohio. Seeing this is giving me hope!

    mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow... just in time for my trip to japan in a couple weeks. i'll be listening to it plenty then.

    i've never had a real digital player before this - no ipod, no smartphone, anything like that. this will be an entirely new experience for me. the last time i was on a plane (about this time last year, actually) i brought an old cassette walkman! the batteries died on the way back and right then i said 'never again'. pono came up for sale a couple months later and i jumped aboard.

    looking forward to it!

    Damn,
    looks like Louisville is Pac-manning all the PONOs.
    You think they would've stopped them at the US border before they shipped them all the way to the middle of the country.
    or maybe it has nothing to do with that???

    yeah, me too.
    on I side note> I was messing around in the PONO store.
    not a lot of 96/24 bit recordings available yet.
    not even Uncle Neil has any that I can find.
    looks like the best on there now is 44k/24bit.
    am I looking in the right place?

    I havent dug around the store much yet. I've been collecting HD tracks since Pono was announced from other stores/sources

    FYI....Someone on HeadFi says his is also in Louisville.
