Dfkt, bravo on those tests. It's fascinating to see what exactly is happening with impedance vs FR.

It's in the mail... I have to get it from the USA, because there are some copyright/trademark issues with the German release of the O2.

So there is less bass rolloff, but it is still there. You've also stated that it sounds a lot like the D2. I wasn't a fan of the D2 sound (compared to some other players) so the O2 is off my list.

Again, thanks for doing the tests and posting them here.

Too bad Rockbox isn't really up to date with video playback, the main feature of the O2.

yeah it is true, but you could switch between OS and use rockbox for music playback and OF for video. I doubt it will happen anytime soon. The D2 still does not have a fully implemented rockbox firmware.

Honestly, if a $250 player needs a free open source firmware to improve it, that doesn't say much about the $250 player.

I don't get it. Isn't the 02 using the same Davinci chip in the A3? Didn't they already have working firmware to base the O2 code on? Why is this so broken?

Maybe Cowon guessed the S9 would be their flagship seller this winter and decided to put all their resources into that. We'll have to wait and see.

It's not really fair to the customers. At least in the US you can return a product that isn't working the way you want. I'll bet there are people who purchased this in countries where there is no return policy.
