rubber O rings on Rega counterweight collars?
Go to your hardware store with your counterweight in hand and try them on for fit. Usually three fit nicely around it and depending on what weight you have depends on the size. I've tried it and it seems to take a bit of glare out of the system. D... 
Any Pono player owners out there?
I bought a Fiio X3, which plays 192/24 and DSD with firmware upgrade 3.2. It has 128 gig micro card storage. It has a digital out, line out and headphone out. It is relatively compact, compared to Pono, and it cost $159.00. Adding two 64 gig cards...
