Looks like this web page might still be active: https://www.ponomusic.com/pmv Hopefully that includes the firmware. As far as the software, drop and drag is what I usually use over Pono's file manager. Put all your albums in the "Music" sub-directory.

beetlemania Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 You will find the settings options on the player itself. I have balanced heaphones and have to reset for balanced operation if I disconnect them.

beetlemania Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just swipe left or right on the main menu options.

beetlemania Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 One advantage of PMV is that it's far easier to create playlists, but I pretty much don't use those. I get about 5-6 hours per charge. There is a youtube video that shows how to replace the battery when it comes to that. I put in a 200 GB SD card - I have no idea if that effects battery demands. Is there a reason it might?

beetlemania Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 With the 200 GB SD (yes, no problems going past Pono's claimed limit) it certainly takes longer to boot, so I imagine that eats some battery right there. I have no idea how much extra power is needed thereafter. Here's where I asked the same question: https://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/16/164069.html Roon ROCK (Roon 1.7; NUC7i3) > Ayre QB-9 Twenty > Ayre AX-5 Twenty > Thiel CS2.4SE (crossovers rebuilt with Clarity CSA and Multicap RTX caps, Mills MRA-12 resistors; ERSE and Jantzen coils; Cardas binding posts and hookup wire); Cardas and OEM power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables Link to comment
