Pono anyone?

I'm a Fioo X3 user because it sounds good and has a digital out. Yes it does DSD, can serve as a USB DAC uses SC's up to 128gig, is pocket size and, did I mention that it sounds good. Oh, and it cost around $140.00.

The pono does not have a digital in or out.

Rlwainwright,Have you heard the Pono ,iBasso or Fiio units,or are you going by what you have read ? I have to agree about the shape!

I agree 100% with Rlwainwright. I'm also not a fan of ayre, so anything ayre is involved in I stay clear of as I have no respect for that company. This just my opinion and I mean no disrespect to anyone who likes ayre.

No respect is a LOT different than not having a preference. No respect implies a lack of honesty and integrity, neither of which Ayre possess. I'd be more careful of my word choice in the future.

You do not know what happened between me and that screwed up company called ayre, so who are you to tell me to be more careful of my word choice? ayre is a company that I would never ever do business with as they gave me nothing but trouble, called me a liar and would not believe anything I told them. Yes ayre is a company in my opinion, most definitely lacks honesty and integrity to the point that I make sure my friends stay clear of them. ayre to me is just a bunch of fancy mostly empty boxes with the gain turned up deliberately to try to get people to think it sounds better, but it's just junk.
I have already covered myself by writing that "This just my opinion and I mean no disrespect to anyone who likes ayre, but don't you tell me how to choose my words because you don't know the story, and you don't know the hell I went through with the dealer and ayre with a piece of their equipment that arrived to me not working and almost caused one of my other pieces equipment to get damage because of a defective ayre component.
YES, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR THE COMPANY CALLED AYRE. THIS IS MY OPINION.
