Cowon has a great sound, great UI, great EQ. Issue is they fail to increase the internal memory , 128 gigs is not enough these days. Atleast have two SD slots. Ill still buy this cause well its a Cowon.

P2 looks very interesting, I've promised myself that I won't buy anotehr DAP with poor battery life that lasts below 12h but for P2 I'll make an exception.

Same here. I like this flagship a lot more. I never heard the AKM4497 EQ. I hope it's an excellent match for IEMs. I know it's not just the DAC that determines the sound quality. It's also the power and efficiency of the internal amp.

One must buy all Cowons, it makes life more simple. ☺

I definitely agree. The Cowon PD is the definition of simplicity.

I found a rough translation of the complete specs from the Cowon FB Page.

I prefer a merge. You should be the thread starter though. I'm no good at being a leader.

I don't want to lead anything here anymore...my temper always gets the best of me when...original characters come into play.

So either a merger with me as the leader? Or delete your thread?

One thing I don't understand
From the AKM 4497eq web site it said

1. - Maximum Sampling Frequency, Bit rate: PCM 768kHz/32-bit, DSD 22.4MHz
2. - SNR:128dB
3. - THD+N: -116dB

But Cowon show that data 
SNR: 123dB
DSD :~5.64MHz(DSD64, 128)  

those two number show just like that is 4495eq more than 4497eq ?

and the battery is smaller than Plenue S from 4400mAh to 3050mAh

Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe a discrepancy with the DAC or the general specs.
