The command reference guide is a 169 page PDF. The Google translated version isn't the worst thing ever, but it's not great. The function names are in English, which helps. Could be fun to build a UI, we'll see. I am a little surprised (and horrified) that it's built in flash.

I agree.

Hope this helps someone.

Received my Plenue D today, having fun testing all the jet eq settings, my 200gb sd cards works just fine, glad i made this purchase, now i need a screen protector and case to keep it in top shape.

the 200gb works fine - really ?
that would be good news, i thought there were problems with these cards.

I suppose depending on the card, mine is a sandisk, had to format it to fat32 in order to use it in the D, had a hiccup or two with the database updating, got the corrupt files off and reloaded them so they are playing, when i add albums it updates without problems. I did put the majority of my music on the card through the adapter on my desktop, a bit faster, with the bulk loaded that way i now load an album or so through the usb function, all is well with the card.

Just came in from a nice hike, great size and sound. Good choice for DAP.

I see you have the DX80 too,how would you say the PD compares with that,I just sold my DX80,just got a bit fed up with various issues,so was looking at this until I can afford a something better.

I really like the PD. Compared the DX80, it plays well due to the BBE. I think on a no EQ level, the DX80 delivers a little more. Maybe due to the dual dac? I am keeping both of them even though the software on the DX80 can be a little funky. I stuck with v1.3 and liked its musicality and the UI seems pretty stable.

Cheers,I have a Shozy Alien on it's way,but think I will pull the trigger on this as well, my last Cowon was the J3 which I liked,so using BBE again will be interesting.

Greetings Everybody. I have had a Cowon Plenue D for a few months and I really love this device. It is not my first Cowon- I've had the i9 and s9. The only thing I really do not like about this device is that it does not have the speed change as the s9 did. This feature was the coolest- I could slow down a song for a laugh or for great effect- like Ebb Tide by the Righteous Brothers, slowed down 10%. It sounds great...anyways, here is my problem, perhaps someone could help me.
 
I have a computer that was given to me as a gift that runs on Windows 7 Professional with Intel core i7. I'm not sure what brand it is but it seems rather new and awesome. The computer acknowledges my Cowon PD, and Jet Audio works fine. However, when I attempt to safely remove the device by clicking the icon on the bottom, the computer will say that the device is now safe to remove but the device will not acknowledge that the usb has been disconnected. I have to shut down the computer totally in order for the device to read that the usb has been disconnected.
 
Does anyone know a remedy to this problem? Has anyone had this problem?
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Jon

That was my experience as well.

What are the symptoms of the troubles you experience ? I currently use a 200GB Sandisk microSDXC too (

Class 10 UHS-I, with following details at the back: 6101DREVL0SN BS Made in China; I can't figure if the char before SN is an "o" letter or "0" digit, but I hope BS does not stand for bull sh** 

).
It's FAT32 formatted, 4kb sectors.

 

The card is only 64GB full for the moment, music was copied using a chinese Win10 tablet's internal microSD slot. I had one DB refresh hiccup too, the first time I loaded the card: after few minutes of moving DB update screens, the DAP froze with no animated loading bar. I let it in this states for one hour then forced a reset. The refresh was successfully done in roughly 3 minutes...

 

The direct USB transfer to the Plenue D is painfully slow, to internal memory and SD card as well: 6-10MB/s max. Using a USB microSDXC adapter is much faster: 10-30MB/s.

 

With both internal memory and 64GB and 200GB microSDXC cards, I experienced some times a disturbing behaviour. Some of transfered music was not available on the Plenue D, only the folders were displayed. A delete and new transfer of missing files did the trick, but there's no clue of what went wrong, and the storage seemed safe: not any Windows warning about possible corrupted storage requiring a scan (had this too, but no error found) and I ensured to use the USB unmount before unplugging everything. Am I the only one to face such problem ? Current firmware is 1.13, I previously used 1.12 and 1.11 and experienced the same with all versions, AFAICR.

I'm using the same card, i formatted to the specific instructions for FAT32, i was plugging along nicely for awhile, then as i started adding albums to the card, ran the update system, the albums show up but when i hit play the unit either froze or cited that is was an invalid file, moved said albums to the internal memory and they played just fine. I had trouble at first also but after i pulled the card out a reinserted it, and ran update, all went well, maybe there is a file cap in the system so we can't utilize the full 200gb, sad. As before maybe it can be solved by firmware, hope so.
