Okay, so this is the new Pono player. Let's see it here. And right now I'm going to do a complete tear down on the Pono player and I don't think I should need anything more than a small Phillips screwdriver and this is a guitar pick in Pono Yellow. So I'm just going to start by cracking open one of the sides with the guitar pick. It's not too bad. I think that there is a small amount of glue that's also holding it together. It seems to be just a small amount of hot melt adhesive just probably so it doesn't pop open when you drop it. Okay, a lot of people compare this thing to a tubular one. I can see that. Okay, so that's the Pono player open. And right here you can see this is a 3.78 volt 2,950 milliamp hour lithium rechargeable lithium ion battery. And that is just connected right to the Pono's main circuit board with a nice little 3-pin connector. And it looks like it's actually just press fit right into the case. You see that? So that comes out pretty easily. So it says in the manual that the battery shouldn't be replaced, but it looks like you can replace the battery with only a guitar pick. Okay, so here's the backside of the Pono circuit board. Here's the battery. Here's the 3-pin connector that the battery was attached to. This is the USB connector. This is the microSD connector. On this side are the two 8-inch outputs. And here you see some fairly large through-hole capacitors. Those are 1,000 UF capacitors, 6.3 volts. Both of them. Okay, so the first chip is this one. This is a Texas instrument's TPS65921b1. This is a multi-channel power management chip and real-time clock. So that explains why it's fixed to the battery. It's doing all the charging and voltage regulating. The second chip is JW734. This is a NAND flash memory. This chip, which is upside down, you can see this is the ESS ES91018k2M. And this is probably the important chip on the POTO player. This small chip is the digital to analog converter. ESS calls this a high performance 32-bit two-channel DAC. This chip is, this is an OPA4376. That's a Texas instrument's precision low noise op-amp. And this small chip here, I believe, is an LM26. This is a thermostat temperature chip. So maybe this is inside monitoring the internal temperature. It makes sense because when the battery is back in its place, you can see that it's pretty much right on top of the temperature chip. Okay, so now I'm going to see what's on the front side of the circuit board. And it seems like there's just two very small Phillips head screws that are holding on. I've already taken off one. Here's the second. And the POTO should just open up. Okay, there it is. And here's the front of the circuit board. And on the back of the enclosure, this is the three buttons. And this looks like it is the LCD and touchscreen and probably the associated controller going to a ribbon cable right to the back of the circuit board there. So now let's check out what's on the front of the POTO circuit board. Okay, so now we're looking at the front of the POTO circuit board. The first chip is the Samsung chip. This is KLMCG8WEBC. The Samsung calls this an EMMC that's a managed NAND flash memory. This is the 64GB version. So this is the internal memory. And this is right on the opposite side of the micro SD slot. So the two are right on top of each other. This is the 64GB version. And interestingly on the Samsung site, this chip is available in 4 to 128GB. So I guess this could have been 128GB chip for probably another dollar or so. And it's kind of a shame that they chose not to do that. I hope they're not pulling an Apple thing and waiting six months to release one with twice as much internal memory. But over here is this very cool array of about, it looks like about 30 very small chips and these are discrete transistors. And this looks like they're paired right next to the output section. This is the headphone jack and the line output jack. So it looks like along with those large through-hole capacitors that that compromises the headphone and line out driving section. And that's all discrete transistors there. It's a very tightly packed and it's very cool. That's it really. There's the three buttons that correspond with the buttons on the front. There's some small tabs that ground the rear of the touch screen. And that's it. That's the entire POTO player. It's interesting though. The silk screen layer on this circuit board is very concise. You can see that some pins are marked at DAC, data pin and clock pin. So a lot of it's very accessible here. So I don't know if that lends itself to hacking if anybody wants to get that small. But that's it. So that's the that's the that's the tear down of the POTO player. Now I'm going to put it back together so I can continue trying to enjoy it.
