Alot of specualation all around regarding the release but no hard evidence it is coming any time soon.
Since the 16gb D2 was just recently released combined with Cowon's slow to market introductions, the D3 is likely not due out any time soon. But that is still just speculation on my part.
Been to iAudiophile and it's a rumor there. ABi has someone who's been in contact w/Cowon. Even though they have a habit of making promises that are kept WAY off schedule. Besides, why do so many get so UPPITY over the subject of the D3?

I just got my D2 today.

I use itunes with apple lossless on the computer and convert to ogg qual 8 for the D2.

I agree with chinesekiwi that ogg qual 8 (approx 256k) is a great size/quality compromise. way better than mp3 at any bitrate. Lossless is still better but I haven't tried it on the D2 yet, not sure I'd hear the difference on the D2 although its clear on my good system.

The D2 drives my 100 ohm ER4S unamped no problem.

sounds good, no real lack of bass, and it can easily be increased if required.

Sure the SQ is not as good as playing through my professional RME computer audio interface, but it seems good for a dap to me. not that I have anything to compare it with.

EDIT: I'm gonna' get a 16 gigger - SCREW THAT!!!
haha funny. D3 IS A RUMOR only


I was looking through this old thread and found myself saying the D3 is a rumor... well that was 3 years ago.. now the D3 is reality. dang
