Hi there,   had two questions for you guys.   1) I just bought Sennheiser HD598s (my 5th or 6th pair of headphones, I only keep one at a time though). I have a Cowon Z2. I have to have these at 45 (for loud music) or 50 (for quiet music) and it's actually still pretty quiet. Not quiet...

Hello all, i hate to post a new thread like this however in the big ol 1500+ page long thread I was getting pretty limited feedback   I am looking for a headphone to pair with my incoming cowon Z2 player. I also use a recently aquired Sansa clip which is rockboxed and an ipod classic.  ...

I am currently using this http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NWZS545-Walkman-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002IPHA1W I know, shameful. But don't worry, I also own a Cowon Z2. I have my eye on the Fiio X3 and X5 BUT I can't upgrade to something that will be "useless" (I don't know it's full features...

Anyone here who has a Cowon Z2 tried to root theirs? I've succesfully rooted and re-flashed different ROMs to my phone (Razr M), and I would have thought it might be similar in operation to do it to my Z2. But following Gungr's tutorial http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40423 isn't...

I am about to buy the Cowon Z2 but if I don't plan on listening to .flac files and only .mp3 files should I just go with an ipod nano with an amp or rockboxed sandisk sansa fuze? The files size of .flac is too high and I cannot find all my music that is currently .mp3 readily in .flac. Also...

As the title suggests, I am debating between the Cowon Z2 and X9. I am not going to be downloading any apps, so android will not be necessary, just listening to music. With that in mind however, I do not want to get a migraine trying to use an unresponsive touchscreen because stability is...

I'm struggling with a serious case of upgraditis! Over the past 18 months, I've spent some hard earned on upgrading IEMs. Starting with a couple cheaper V-Moda phones I've gone, Ety HF-3 > UE TripleFi 10 > Shure SE535 > Westone 4R > Shure SE535LE (red ones). I also have some Bose QC15s for...

Hi Head-Fi Community, I have a question for you fellow audiophiles... I actually have a iPod Touch 4gen, AiAiAi TMA-1 Studio, and Sony XB500. Ive also ordered a Fiio E11 Portable AMP. I'm not really happy with my iPod's SQ and I am looking towards a new MP3 player .... Ive looked at the...

Im having a hard time choosing between buying an iPod Touch and using it with my E11 or simply buy a Cowon Z2 I know how good Cowon players are but Ive had an iPod touch for the past 3 years and i really enjoy it. The Camera The iOS etc... I seek a good SQ from my portable device and i...

Helo i have some questions   i'd like to get a new player, but i don't know which one, it has to be able to accept a lot of space and it needs a touch screen, that's why i was thinking about the cowon z2, but how do i put an amp on this? i'd like to buy a fiio e17 or a ibasso t4/5   i'm...

Hi, I just got my Cowon Z2 and i find that my Sennheiser CX-400 Precision II (owed them for like 3 years) aren't able to deliver the performance the Cowon is known to give. I listen to almost all types of music and they sound excellent in many genres but i feel that they have quite elevated...

As you can see I'm new to the forum and have a concerning question. I couldn't find any topics on this comparison that fitted my situation, so anything will help! Here goes:   I'm into house and hip hop music as of late and narrowed down my choice of headset to 3 options, listed in the title...

Update: Just received an 8GB Cowon X9 today - the sound quality is MUCH better than my ipod classic. It's actually on par with my Audioengine D1 (might even be better, but I'm trying to let the subjective stuff dissipate before reviewing)...   After picking up an iPod classic a few months...

Hi i am looking for a new mp3 player, i have creative ZEN and HTC Desire HD and i want to buy something a little bit better. I listen to rap,hip-hop, electronic music as Daftpank, dub step, classical, jazz. I have Phonak Audeo PFE 112, D-jays and SE PX100. I chose three DAC players (Colorfly C3...

Hello,       I recently purchased the Cowon Z2 and I also purchased a 16GB microSDHC memory card to use with the Z2's microSD slot.  But the manual does not detail how to insert the card.  I don't know if I should insert the card with the lettering facing up with the screen or down so the...

Hi friends,   I'm a new user of Cowon Z2 and I've faced some problems that I couldn't resolve after hours and hours of trying.   I ripped my music in FLAC with DBpoweramp, believe the tagging was automatic.   First attempt, after transferring the Beatles' One album to the Z2. Under...

OK, I'm looking for some advice. I have a Sony X1060 and a pair of Westone UM3X, but am thinking of changing to a new DAP. In an ideal world it would have touchscreen, gapless playback, lossless (FLAC etc) and 32GB plus storage. It's not an ideal world though... So have looked at: 1...

I currently have the iPod Nano 3G, but it doesn't have enough space (only 4gb).   I did some research and appereantly the Rocoo-P is one of the best. But the UI seems very clunky to me.   I need something with a friendly user interface. 10gb internal storage will do. But sound quality is...

A lot of DAPs around right now seem to support sd cards of various sorts (android phones to iBasso etc..) but most say only up to 32gb or sometimes 64gb. Since there are already 128gb sdxc cards available and the standard allows for up to 2tb cards to be produced in the next few years I'm...

I get a much louder sound with the stock music player and absolutely no distortion at even the highest volume. Whereas with foreign players, such as PowerAMP and PlayerPro; distortion with the bass is very apparent when at a fairly high volume and they seem to have a volume cap too. Though that...

Hello,   Would I get any benefit if I were to hook up a FIIO E17 portable amp to my Cowon Z2 player.   I primarily use Flac's on my Cowon Device.   Also could I do any damage to either device or my headphones if I were to do so?   Thanks Mike

I will be getting one or the other. i would like you to help me decide which one is better, im only going for sound everything else is just a bonus. I was trying to see what sound card the galaxy has to no evail. I have had cowon before I know have a Appe ipod 160 gb just looking for others i...

apple ipod touch 4g 32gb or cowon j3 32gb would be better? would be looking to get second hand ones.    currently using the yamaha-eph100 and creative aurvana live!   thanks in advance! :)

Hey everyone im currently using my Zune HD, with my AKGq701, on the Fiio e9. But I realised i Need a much better source, than this Zune HD. I was looking at the Cowon j3 and the Cowon s9. Is there difference in Sound Quality or something? Also would this be a good source for my setup. If any of...

Recently discovered MOG - very cool.    I've been using my phone, but am looking for something that's made for music playing that'll do wifi.  The only one that I'm aware of is iPod Touch.   Are there other players that have wifi capabilities?   Thanks.
