What were the two albums they included in HD? Ten and Lightning Bolt? What format are they in? FLAC? I have the HD versions of ten,vs,vitalogy from hdtracks, but I don't think they've put out any of the other ones in HD. I wonder if pono files are transferrable to other devices that support HD flac?
TEN REDUX....I forked over the $19.99 for it and holy Fuck is it good 44.1/24bit
I'm new to all this, wanted to get No Code etc...but saw it only in 16bit....is there a big difference from 24bit to 16bit?
Thanks
Don't buy the 16 bit. If you rip your own CD to FLAC, it will be in 16bit/44.1khz. Can people who preordered see the resolution of each album in the store now?

24 bit studio masters is what you are looking for.
The only reason yo buy the 16 bit from pono is if you are original kickstarter purchaser is that if they ever release a higher definition version you get it for free. Now the question is how often that will happen.

I had the chance to listen to my Dad's Pono last night, a PJ one as well. It sounded great. Kept flipping through Vs. and every note of every instrument could be heard clearly. Was very impressed with how light it was and how comfortable it fits in the hand.
I did have a bit of jealousy because I haven't received my PJ Pono yet and I keep waiting for some shipping info. The way they are shipping doesn't seem to make sense to me. Just kind of flying by the seat of pants. His was numbered in the 430s and the numbers of those that have received them yet are all over the place.

"Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
"Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

Oh no. Mine was supposed to be delivered today but now is in Louisville. Says scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Same here. I actually do believe that it'll arrive to NJ from Louisville tomorrow.
Now it says my package was released by the clearing agency. I assume that's a good thing.

Weird....I have a 24/96 vinyl ripped version of VS. It doesn't sound as good (depth, instrument separation) as the 24/44 versions that came with the Pono.
Perhaps the vinyl rip is not the remaster

Not to mention the other inheriant issues with recording a record. What kind of equipment is the person using to go from analog to digital? I have to imagine that in most instances it degrades the quality of the record.

What's the source of that vinyl > flac rip? I have a few Pearl Jam 24Bit Flac vinyl > Flac sources that I've collected over the years. IMO, the Vs 24Bit Flac that I bought last year over at HDTracks is so good. I'm pretty sure it's the same one being sold over at the Pono Store. It's kHz is much lower, but the quality / clearity is much better.
I still haven't seen or heard any updates of the shipments on their yellow & black Pono Players.
I don't really care at all but after looking through those photos, I have to say the old sigs and layout did look so much better. I wonder what happened with that. That said, the ones with just logos like ZZTop and GD look the best.
Friend got word back that the yellow & black Pono Players might not ship out till December. D'oh!! :(
At this rate, I'm not surprised! The 4,000 Pono quality issue brought up on the Pono forums seems to be indicated towards the Black/Yellow Ponos. I'm already preparing to wait at least that long for my PJ Pono.

Just got my PJP. I'm charging it now so haven't heard it yet but wow the presentation is awesome. Obviously the most important thing is how it performs but I have to say that I'm very, very impressed with the packaging and leather case. Very high quality.
Oh, and another cool thing is that the UPS label doesn't have my name on it at all. It's simply addressed to "Pearl Jam" since that's my Kickstarter name. Thought that was kind of funny.

I bet the UPS driver was bummmed. Thought he might meet Pearl Jam.
Unless you are a member of Pearl Jam? :-?

Finally got a reply to my ticket on when my player is supposed to ship, not much of a reply but the typos are very funny. See below, not making this up...:
