Thanks guys... I think I understand the playback scenerio..... my ignorance [and it may be too early to ask because the "pono store" is not up and running] is more to do with purchasing/downloading and installing the pono files onto the pono player. Again I may be too far ahead of the process with my questions and in a bit of "new age digital" pre-panic. Luckiley I do have a 22 year old godson who is the ultimate "geek" [no disrespect intended] so once I have a basic understanding of what to ask I could bribe him to come up to the island for a visit and help me learn to navigate the system....I think!

I hope this is the correct forum to post this question. I'm an old analog guy who has never had a "portable" player, nor have I downloaded/purchased mp3s or anything but Vinyl and traditional CD/DVD. Smart or not I have signed up for a pono player. I have an iMac [os Maverick] that I have set up with an external DAC running to a "traditional" SS Stereo system that is dedicated to the Mac for streaming pandora etc., radio streaming, playing my library of concert DVD's, Movie DVDs. My Question(s): What specific software/firmware will I need to install on the iMac to to be able to participate in the pono format [FLAC]? I am a computer idiot….. so if answers could be in the simplest language/terms possible I would appreciate it. Off to work now so I'll check back this evening. Figure I've got about 6 months to figure this out and learn to be semi-competent in 21st century tech. Thanks Mike
