Any Pono player owners out there?

Has anyone purchased Neil Young's Pono music player? Share your thoughts and experience so far. The player is now on back order. Thanks.

So, if Pono is as amazing as Neil says it is, I'll be a buyer. But, I do think the name is ridiculous!

High rez files on the go is available and I roll my own. I'm not sure why I would need to buy his device and add to what I already have. I'm also a bit soured on the fact that a multi millionaire used kickstarter. I think he should have had enough capitol to secure investors beyond what was originally design for those don't have access to such resources. It now seems like a trend for established companies to exploit grassroots programs designed for those that aren't.

I believe the only people who have one so far got theirs handed to them by Neil at a high roller dinner.
