clash of the sound titans.. s:flo2 vs cowon j3/x7

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Gone through researching a lot of players recently.. price isn't much of an issue this time. I think I've narrowed it down to cowon and s:flo2, just beating out Sony from what I've read.. now this is hard. There's so much hype around these players idk what to believe basically what I get from it all is

J3/x7: -best Eq
-awesome battery life
-good screen for viewing video
-more power to drive power hungry headphones
- rolled off bass?

S:flo2: -the best flat, un Eq'd sound
-true LOD
-terrible battery
-terrible firmware compared to j3
- can use rockbox?

So this is what I've gathered.. not sure if the s:flo2 can use rockbox or not? but I feel like that would solve UI problems. I will be using the player mainly with a set of TF10's and I normally like flat sound but if the cowon bbe system is really that great I'd probably be swayed. So yea mainly looking for something that'll play music with high fidelity and decent UI that I don't have to worry about crashing on me all the time atleast.... go (:

only thing holding me back is a lot of initial negative review on it, then again that was initial. seems like they got the bugs worked out. and anyone know if the x7 pushes even more power through HO than the j3? or atleast have less rolled off bass. sorry i could resist asking these (: been infinitely curious about the x7.

cant hear any rollled of bass on my x7

plus the bbe+ adds a certain oomph not found in any other dap

yep its stronger than a j3
