I like it , I have 4 important questions
1. Can you swipe album art from left/right to next song like i can on my X9?
i see there is screen buttons bellow the album art but in theory you can go to next song by swiping album art?
2. can the background frame around album art be changed, i see on youtube it change to adapt to the album art.
can a wallpaper be used as frame.
3. Does it supourt or come with UCI themes, probaly only music uci
4. I currently own X9 and S9 i wanted to upgrade to Plenue P1 or M but price still too high
would i benefit from upgrading to Plenue D is it better than X9?
1. Dunno
2. Dunno
3. Currently I doubt it, but in time yeh I rekon it will support UCI. I think this is 'Matrix' browser, and like the M2 it can also have different themes applied. The C2 themes even work on the M2. I bought a C2 years ago, and it's stock UI was terrible, thankfully some really decent UCI's emerged and saved the device, I'm quietly hoping the Plenue D gets some new UI, possibly even improving lag if that is at all possible (tho i doubt it). I'm just going to wait this one out, see what develops.
4. I believe the Plenue D will only be successful to the X9 in a couple of areas (this is pure conjecture mind u).
a) The price tag and battery life suggests it is indeed stepping away from the P1 and M components. It is more likely to have similar components to the M2 and X9 than the other way around. It will prolly be fine for most IEMs but cans may disappoint.
b) I would place money that when volume matched, using same headphones, using same DSPs applied, during specific passages in a track, you would not be able to tell the difference. Where they might differ is hiss/background noise, I would expect and hope that the D is quieter.
c) The D has a few added firmware benefits that the X9 doesn't have, is it worth that upgrade?
d) The D is smaller and more compact (lighter also I think).
e) Has a better screen quality.
I would also say that again I doubt you could even tell the difference between the P1 and M against your X9 if yer using a specific volume, volume matched and during certain passages etc. Where the P and M should trump the X9 is in cleaner background and the ability to power some harder to drive cans. But at that price you have to ask yerself if it's worth it... You might get similar results from investing in a small yet premium amp if that is required.
Just my 2 cents.
