Default Cowon O2 user review on the web

There is an O2 user review on iaudiophile.net posted by D2 owner. OP basically says that SQ is identical, although he does not make any specific mention of bass roll-off. OP also basically says that it is D2 with a larger screen and no need for video transcoding, but sound from the videos is very weak (does not really specify what that means).

He means that the sound didn't sound the way he liked cause the sound of a video can't be EQ-ed on the O2 (yet?) Which wasn't that bad for movies but he couldn't stand it with music clips.

From what I gather so far about the O2 it is primarily a video player with music. So for people thinking about getting a new MP3 player they're better off with a D2.

Sounds like O2 = D3.
