my ocd would kick in and i would have to re-rip. just to be sure in my ocd mind 

i'm sure there are still a few of us out there so has anyone here used pono with their mp3 320 collection alone? be great to hear your impressions sound quality wise.

  when is that, any ideas?

guys sorry to repeat an earlier post. any ideas if my sennheiser HD 25-II would be a good pairing with the a17? i think the 25's are 70 Ω. i also have shure srh840 which are 44 Ω. which would be the better pairing?

where is the best place to get a japanese a17? i want the full japanese version without the english language. is pricejapan still the place? ebay seems littered with a17 international versions with english language from hk but cant see any listed coming direct from japan. i would like a few...

how easy is it to navigate around and adjust settings with only japanese? i guess once you have the player up and running to your spec then the language does not matter

i guess if it not officially released until 8 nov (according to pricejapan) and after that when actual owners can play with the settings, how exactly can anyone inc sony reps(?) say for 100% yes or no? it is all speculation until then.

  have you got the link?

yesterday

got myself a neil young edition

but you'd only end up keeping 1 of them and return the other to sony for a full refund. absolutely nothing lost by doing that and surely worth finding the extra dosh to make that home trial of both possible?

order both and judge for yourself!

pledged! $415 got me   'ARTIST SIGNATURE SERIES: NEIL YOUNG – Limited Edition Artist PonoPlayer in Chrome. Laser engraved with artist's signature. Comes pre-loaded with artist's top two favorite albums. Handmade leather case with presentation box. Plus: Website Thanks'  

do they have a twitter acc you could send a message to? tend to find public tweets get faster responses than non public emails :)

ok cool conflicting info   http://www.head-fi.org/t/584479/new-sony-walkman-z-series-mini-review/120#post_8056910   probably worth speaking with sony uk and see if they can say once and for all

no it is not listed as £535. it is listed as £479 as i posted  

user error more likely..

  i was one of those. luckily i didn't have to re-do too many albums.   itunes is still my tag-er of choice. itunes is even my embedd-er of choice for artwork. the trick with embedding artwork into an album using itunes is to actually copy and paste the artwork into each file (do not use the...

must add that i've only ever had a packet opened just the once. out of 20 odd imports from china/japan/hong kong over the past 5yrs

  uk customs may even go as far as to open the packet and cross reference what is inside with an actual price on the sony website. expect to pay a bit more in fees. happened to me once. bummer.

  i agree. i purchased both. the x3 gathered dust as soon as my dx50 was delivered a few months back. preferred the dx50 sound overall. the build quality and was just the icing. still got the dx50 and sold the x3 a month ago.

  the 'best' ui found on an ipod at the expense of sq. know what i'd prefer. exactly how 'best' does a ui need to be able to play an album from start to finish?

order from pricejapan. i'd say 90% of the owners here in this thread have gone that route

+1   if needed can the battery be replaced by sony in the uk if we are buying from pricejapan? how long do these batts last under avg usage?
