as somebody who runs four rackmount digital sound processors in my home system i am a bit partial to gear with FUNCTIONAL equalizers in it. which my iphone 3GS does not have.
i need a player with maximum ability to customize the frequency response, especially in the bass. i need a unit with equalizer that lets you take basically any headphone and make it sound to your liking. i also need an equalizer that doesn't clip or distort or sound like an echo from outer space.
of course i also want as much clean power as possible and as much memory as possible ( but no hard drives ).
now according to some preliminary research it seems Cowon J3 is my best option. yes ? no ?
give me some reasons why J3 is not the best player for me !
some of the applications i envision for it:
1 - cardio as in biking and jogging ( primary application so far )
2 - bus & train
3 - line at the DMV, doctor's office etc.
headphones i currently own:
1 - IE8 ( the ones i expect to use the most )
2 - Technics RP DJ 1200
3 - Senn HD 555
also i have to say that i am a fairly serious basshead. i have built 3 subwoofers myself the last one using a 8,000 watt driver capable of 4 inches of excursion ( TC Sounds LMS 5400 ). this subwoofer runs through three rackmount DSP processors ( the fourth one runs on speakers ). the ability to customize bass response ( without clipping or distorting ) is THE most important consideration for me, it is primarily reason why iPhone is useless to me.
so once again - talk me out of J3 !
