I planning to upgrade from my old UE Superfi 3, and now I see http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/ have good deals on Shure SE310 and most interesting Shure SE420. The price are 89 and 126£.  Also the older model of UE Superfi 5 Pro are interesting.   As source I have Cowon D2 and only...

I've been a lurker here for a while. This is my first post. (Great site by the way!) After comparing notes and reviews I am about to buy the following: Cowan D2+ : I want FLAC, and prefer to have my portable folder structure match my PC. Either RSA Mustang P-51 or Corda 3Move. Shure...

I am confused in choosing Amp/DAC.I have a laptop and a creative X-fi USB sound card .I have a Philips SHP9000 which is been lying unused from the day i got ( purchased it in India for a steal deal) .I tried using it with the sound card but feel that the sound card is not doing justice so...

Long story: A year and a half ago I got a D2 to replace my dead clix2 and now I'm looking for a new player to replace my broken D2 (some clumsiness resulting in a cracked screen making the touch screen unusable).   I'm somewhat undecided on whether to get another 8GB D2 for $135 (prices...

Having owned the aforementioned product for a few weeks now; I'd like to post some thoughts on it based on my experience with the Cowon D2+.   So far, I haven't really gotten around to buying a micro SD bigger than the stock 2GB in the box, but I've put some tracks (Ogg q5 and 320k mp3) on...

Hey guys. i'm looking for an mp3 player and after reading plenty reviews and forum's threads i'm still confused. i thought about buying the Cowon's D2+ player but still succeeded to find many not-that-good opinions regarding it's sound quality. And that's all i need: Sound Quality. i'm using the...

As the title says, i was looking for a pair of closed and detailed earphones, analytical it's the most appropriate term in my opinion.. so, 150$-200$. No amp and in combo with a cowon d2+. No matter if i'm gonna equalize them. Thanks. Also, i live in europe... i prefeer an european store.

I am thinking about wether to sell my cowon and use that money to buy a fuze + lod.  I am planning on using the headsix along with my RE0 for the portable setup.  I was wondering for those who have both, which would produce a better SQ.  Are the differences noticable? thanks!

Hi, it's my first time here; I'm looking for something like a DAC/amp that can read SDHC. I'm not searching an intere Hi-Fi system, only a compact "thing" that can read mp3 or flac from the card and make sound well my headphones. If it has a usb to plug my pc, it will be fantastic. Is it...

Hi. I am looking for a portable player that support FLAC playback, with high capacity. I know a few players such as cowon, meizu, teclast that can do that. I just want to know what options I have. Actually cowon D2 appeals to me most because of its SD slot, but it is a lil overkill as I don't...

Hi, I am contemplating buying a new DAP, currently I have the Cowon D2, it was an excellent player and still is, however when I made the switch to Mac, all of sudden my Cowon D2 is not being recognized. When I plug my Cowon D2 into the usb ports, it charges my Cowon D2 instead of recognizing it...

Hey guys Help me choose between these 2 players. I have heard that this sony player has fantastic audio quality and I've also heard the same for the D2. My headphones are SR-60 and ER4p. I'm leaning towards Sony because the touch interface doesn't look all that appealing on the D2. thanks guys...

Much hype around this supposedly optimized D2+...   Here's a seller describing Cowon's latest hatch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Cowon-D20-MP3-Player-16GB-/261179471134?pt=Other_MP3_Players&hash=item3ccf82751e   As my search on head-fi didn't turn out anything, I dared start a new...

Well, I've been researching DAPs off and on for a few weeks now, including lurking this message board, and have yet to come to anything concrete since my list of priorities is varied, so I've come to you all for help. Is there anything that fits the list?   No Apple products (I would...

Greets from snowy Russia, folks.   I need your help in choosing IEMs under $300 (shipped) for my Cowon D2 and FiiO E17. Seacrch conditions are as follows:   1. Not-colored or low-colored super high-detail sound.  2. Solid contruction and strong cable. 3. High impendance(?). Since I'm...

My main portable rig is a iBasso DX100 + RSA SR-71A + Heir Audio 4.Ai.  Audio bliss.   However, I do a lot of work in my yard, renovation work on my 130 year old house, etc.  My main portable setup isn't exactly portable enough to use when I'm swinging a hammer or mowing the lawn.  Besides...

Hello  I want to buy a Cowon mp3 player but i can't decide. I just want to listen to music not watch videos.So i want the best audio quality. I need the best audio quality.Price is not an important factor.You can suggest me other brands except Cowon. I wonder that what is the different...

My friend came up to me the other day, knowing that I had some insight on the audio world, and asked me if I had any recommendations for an mp3 player. He has an Ipod touch but is disappointed with its performance. He is looking for a "bang for buck" mp3 that is less than $225. Any...

What would be the best idea? I already have a 64GB iPod touch. So would it be worth it to get a new music player or just get a portable amp for it? Budget is $275 because that's what I would probably get for it.

A question for the experts:   Is there any player out there that has noticeably better sound quality than a Clip Zip that can still fit in an Altoids tin?  For example, my sister's now-outdated Sony player (I believe the A818) does fit inside.   So, what are some good choices that are...

EDIT1:Will the 6gen Ipod nano do it or should I buy the J3 (because I don't want to compromise on audio quality). My budget can stretch a maximum upto 400 $ and that said, I will be grateful if head-fiers could provide me with other alternatives that I have failed to consider. Storage capacity...

I am considering several models from Cowon:  What are the pros/cons of these models?   J3 D2+ S9 C2   I have a iphone so don't need an Android or many apps., in fact I don't use the EQ on my RB Clip+.    Would it be wiser to look at another brand (ie Sony) since I may not use...

Hi all, I'm still relatively new to the audio scene, moving past itunes/zune/youtube and into the realm of ripping lossless tracks and such, and I'm trying to figure out whether it'll be worth it getting a lossless player or not.   I know Zune (which i use, with the Zune Pass subscription...

I was wondering about the battery on the D2+. For some reason sometimes when its near full all of a sudden the battery indicator would go to empty battery(or near empty). Has any of the other D2 owners experienced this? I'm guessing the skin, the higher than 128 kbps encoded files and the 8gb...

Here's a philosophical thought regarding DAP's and EQ. I just ordered a Cowon C2. (I don't really need another DAP, but hey, Head-Fi is a hobby, not a necessity!) I wanted the killer battery life, gapless playback, and FLAC support.   Regardless - here's what I'm thinking. We see posts here...
