From my use of the DX90 over the past 18 months+, I can only say that it works and suits my needs perfectly. I play .flac albums, ripped from my CDs or downloaded from the Hi-res suppliers available to me: Qobuz and HDTracks.   I use 128GB micro SD cards, one each for Classical, Jazz and Rock...

L8MDL, you obviously got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I recommend going back to bed, having a good sleep and try to wake with a bit of cop-on. Losing your cool because someone tries to help someone else, while patently doing utterly no harm to anyone else, is to say the least...

Can you read your micro SD Card contents on your computer when you insert the card in an SD card adapter/memory card reader? 

I'm with you Trance. I've been a DX90 since it first came out, use it as you do. I've had no problems whatsoever, and have only good things to say about the DX90 and iBasso. 

Have you got the balanced cable diagram as drawn by Charlie Hansen from the Ponomusic site? It's a .pdf so I'm not sure if I can upload it. https://ponomusic.force.com/069A0000001eCMz

Fine review Ableza. Nicely put together, and clear on the ups and downs. It will be interesting to see if you get to enjoy the Pono more after a burn-in period. IBasso recommend up to 400 hours for the DX90

Tidal, the Norwegian company (they trade as Wimp there) opened in in the U.K. and in the U.S. in the last couple of weeks. They stream 16 bit / 44.1 kHz music. Could you maybe get that?

It's still Pre-orders only for delivery Qtr 1, 2015. Only U.S. addresses acceped.

Not yet bruce1967. As of yet it is possible only to pre-order in the U.S. (only ) for delivery in 2015 qtr.1.

First report of Pono received in Switzerland, from Kickstarter:   Andreas Zuber about 09:45 03/11/2014 Shipping E-Mail received 02:07 this night. 8 hours later: UPS rings at the door with the parcel. Surprise, the Arcade Fire LE is here!   First thoughts upon unpacking:  - Nice box!  -...

"Pedram Abrari (PonoMusic). 1st Nov 2014 We haven't sent out email notifications yet because along with that notification you'll get access to the beta store to purchase music. Neil wants to get the message just right. We're doing our best to speed things along and get the email notifications...

Pedram Abrari said that Ponos began to ship on 30th October, 2014. He said emails are to go out today 1st Nov. to those whose Ponos are en route. No doubt those who get them will let us know when they do.

Well they're on their way. Not too long now for people to find out how good the Pono is:-)

On the off-chance that you find you don't like it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands, and you don't even need to pay me for recycling.

nice one:-)

Have a look at www.ibasso.com in the Where to Buy Section e.g. http://hdphns.com/nl/catalogsearch/result/?q=Dx90 The Spanish shop price is good also.

Apologies Ableza. The email did say as you quoted. The Kickstarter update and the ponomusic site have since updated that info to: "Update #46 incorrectly reported the ponomusic.com site shutdown date as Oct 6 & 7. In fact, we anticipate shutting down the site on October 9 & 10 in preparation...

Paranoia strikes deep...:-)

I think you overstate the case just a bit swannie007.   Pono said they would ship the first batch of Ponoplayers in October. They say they are on course to do that. Seems pretty simple to me.   In fairness, when companies estimate a delivery date 10 months before the date, it would seem...

Unfortunately Ableza, you reported the correction incorrectly. Why not just copy and paste?   Update #47   Dear backers, Update #46 incorrectly reported the ponomusic.com site shutdown date as Oct 6 & 7. In fact, we anticipate shutting down the site on October 9 & 10 in preparation for...

Ableza, it might be no harm to be a little more accurate.   The web shop for pre-orders for the Ponoplayer is live now   "for delivery in Q1 (Jan-Mar) 2015", and only for delivery in the United States. "Note: Your credit card is charged for the full amount when you place the preorder."   ...

Software and sites useful and interesting for DAP users (noting of course that there is a wealth of information on the many forums here on www.head-fi.org):   http://www.dbpoweramp.com/   http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/   http://www.foobar2000.org/   http://www.jriver.com/  ...

  October 2014 has arrived. Ponomusic said on September 4th that "Delivery of the PonoPlayer still stands as originally expected—October 2014 or December 2014 depending on your specific player " and "In addition to shipment of the player this fall, we will launch our music library in October...
