@Hi-Fi'er , I decided to buy Plenue 1. But I was curious about the interface after the last firmware. Could you make a little video demonstrating how it was after the update?

didn't you consider buying PM2 ? It looks much better, has improved amp section, has 1Ohm output impedence vs 3Ohm in P1. PM2 also got firmware update. I had a chance to compare P1 and PM2 and they sound the same.
I have PM2 and P2 and with the latest update PM2(also P1) the new skin looks same like in Plenue 2

I'm going to buy Plenue 1 simply because in my country there are no stores that sell Cowon players and a friend is selling his Plenue 1. With this I will not have to import, pay shipping and taxes.

I see, P1 is still a great player, hope you will be happy with the purchase. I have PD, PM2 P2 and Im loving them. Not going to sell any of them

I have the Plenue D and I am selling to buy the Plenue 1, but with a pain in the heart ...

I'm not into making video's sorry. Maybe someone can if you think you feel there is a need. I can say that 2.20 is cleaner and smoother and a faster interface. It adds ONE huge nice benefit. At the top on the volume numerical value, if you tap on it, it will open a new window for a few seconds where you may slide up or down to adjust the volume quickly. I prefer this. All else looks exactly as someone posted a few posts back. everything is still in it's place and no sound change for those who worry there maybe one.

Update: Found you can also swipe on the art/artist displaying while music is playing and go to the next song. Maybe I missed that feature in earlier versions or was not aware of it but I like that option.

Thanks.

Has anyone tried the Cowon P1 or PD with Campfire Audio Andromeda?

Yep...Andromeda sounds very good out of the P1 imo

But I have to say that Andromeda sounds pretty good out of all the sources (even smartphone) I've tried it over here.
Fyi: I use Spiral Dot tips (wide bore) and the Andro is easy to drive (less volume needed)

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING!! One more question. Is there any hissing with the P1 like people report off other sources occurs?

Thank you.

No (noticeable) hiss to my ears with Andro & P1.
Even the Zeus XR, which is more sensitive to hiss than the Andro, has a nice black background with P1

Wow thank you. That's great. Of all your IEM's in your profile which do you like the most?

 

[Kerouac]

Well, that would be the Zeus XR. Imo it performs in most signature categories on a higher level than all the others. Especially its resolution & imaging is off the chart.
I consider my other ciems more as specialists. Solar for fun / bass, AR6 for air / soundstage, H8.2 is very smooth / organic.

The Andromeda wasn't on my wishlist to be honest. But when I heard it, it blew me away immediately with its beautiful (maybe not the most reference/neutral, but surely fun) signature
If you get it, I don't think you will be disappointed...

I just want something that is a detail monster but still smooth mid forward a bit and not hot in the highs. Are the Andro's anything like that?

Yeah, that description comes pretty close (although ZXR provides even more details) imo. Luckily there are quite some Andro reviews out there, but you probably already checked them out.
Btw, I also think Andro has very good low for a BA.
