Cowon J3 questions

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I'm thinking about buying a Cowon J3 for use as my main portable DAP and I was wondering if it will play ALAC files since I've converted all my FLAC to ALAC for use with my iPod. If not, will converting my ALAC files back to FLAC cause loss in sound quality? thanks in advance smily_headphones1.gif

From their website (http://www.cowonglobal.com/product_wide/COWONJ3/product_page_4.php) - no - doesn't support ALAC.

 

And yes you can convert ALAC to FLAC with no loss in SQ.  You're going lossless to lossless.
