No, it's a good investment. Much better than a Benaroya. That's the only reason I'm bummed I missed it. Because these will go for $1000 easily.

Why? The retail version has a "stated" price of 399 dollars. So 400 for a limited PJ version (you can see how the chrome looks on the bottom of the page) with two albums - whats so weird about buying that?
Don't kid yourself, the majority have purchased this because of the sigs that may or may not be there. They haven't bought it to play the damn thing!!

I got one because I think it's a brilliant concept (that I want to support) and I can't wait to hear how music sounds at this level of quality. The fact that it has Pearl Jam on it and is a limited edition is great added bonus.

cheapest new ipod is the mini $50 you don't need to have everything right away
an ipod mini is not a standard ipod.
no, you certainly don't need everything right away. but if you want it, expect to pay more than you would in 3 years time. that ain't rocket science. what's a ps3 cost these days? $250? they were $5-600 bucks in 2006. it's how these things work. good for you if you'd prefer to wait- you'll get a price break. whoopdee do!
Thank you to the PJ fans who bought out the signature series; made my decision easier and cheaper settling for the regular version. I waffled about it all last night and was ready to spring after work today. Now hoping for a different/better outcome than SACD and DVD-A. Excited that Neil is having his dream come true. Rooting for this to be a big hit!
If anyone who is buying one of these is anywhere near Ukiah, CA, I'd love to hear the thing after they ship. I'm really curious how much of this extra bit-rate stuff is audible for me.

I wouldn't knock anyone for paying $400 for one of the sig series. After all, it's going to retail for $400 anyway. Personally, if I do buy one, I'll buy it to use it and not as a collector's item so I'll probably save the $100 and buy the standard model. I'm gonna sit on it for a month though and decide then. Also, $300-$400 is really not a bad deal at all when you consider that you're buying something more akin to a new stereo rather than an ipod. That's how I see it anyway.
Side note, I kind of like the orange and black but it's listed as "yellow". Every screen I've seen it on it shows up as orange.
Orange is better than yellow. That's all I'm saying.

I'll admit I know very little about Pono, I'd only heard about it through this thread and I stand by that the majority have gone for this PJ one because they hope there is sigs on it, albeit laser-engraved ones. Many won't even play it. Now it may well be the next step in digital music players but it could also be the next flash in the pan. We'll see.

It will be interesting to hear the reviews when it is released. The idea of buying music again that I already own doesn't really appeal to me at the moment though (I know you'll be able to play your own files though)!

I couldn't give a monkeys whatever it is - the next ipod or the next monster flop.
I will hold up my hand and say I bought it because it says Pearl Jam on it, Im unlikely to play it, and Im more than happy with that.
I wouldn't say people don't know what it will look like, the Bio page on the product is very detailed and there are various images.
I also wouldn't believe I have more money than common sense, that is a crazy generalisation. I collect Pearl jam items, that aint rocket science, and limited edition items that sell out within 24 hours are obviously going to be solid collectibles in the long run.

Never a truer word said. I concur. Probably the only thing I wouldn't buy is an ed ved signed boys II men "end of the road" rare 12" single in marble pink with aqua/turquoise polka dots on a press of 1. Mainly because polka dots ain't my thing
I really want this. I remember seeing NY talk about it on Letterman and have been interested since. One problem is that I really should not be spending $300-$400 on anything right now, let alone something I really don't "need".
Also, I'm wresting with the whole "new format" thing. I love vinyl. That's where I spend my money on albums that I know are worth it. Am I now going to have decide between vinyl and Pono? Pono music looks to be very expensive (between 20-25 bucks an album). No way I'm spending $50 on average to have both the vinyl and digital format of a record. That leaves me in most cases to have to choose between the two and I just can't see myself abandoning physical for digital (no matter how good the digital may be).
Anyone else wrestling with this?
This is pretty much where I was and why I decided to pass, for now. Im just building/re-building my music library in vinyl form, which has been very fulfilling and also a bit expensive. To go to another format at this time just feels like a waste of money. Portably, I usually have music fairly quiet and in the background, such as work. MP3s work.
went from buying all sorts of CDs at 12-15 a pop to free music to buying vinyl at 1.99-150 a pop not ready to add another format for me to dump dollars into another collection (yet).
I passed on it as well. I'm a pretty big fan of the Cowon line of players (they make pretty high end flac/mp3 players). I think I paid about $250 for Cowon s9 4 years ago and its still gong strong.
Phones tend use music as an afterthough. The cowon's have pretty good DAC's in them and they make excellent standalone players.
I'm not entirely sure I need Flac HD while I'm riding the bus to work or going for a walk on my lunch break. Regular FLAC has always given me the option of ripping a cd from collection and storing it on the PC to use as I please. It didn't cost me a nickel in content to make the CD to FLAC jumpover

Seems like a lot of crap. Do you really need a high end audiophile portable music player?
Im just fine with my ipod and turntable.
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
On the headphones topic - absolutely love my Bowers and Wilkins P5 pair. Sound amazing!
