I'm thinking of a new DAP to replace my Ibasso DX90. Has anyone gone from a Cowon Plenue 1 to a X7 or had the chance to listen to both and give an honest opinion? I like the usability of the X7 and the ability to load different apps as they become available but I'm thinking the Cowon might edge...

Thanks for the response really helpful. Lol. I meant with the offer, it was going to cost £500 for the new player and wasn't sure I would see that much improvement. I like my dx90 but it's the best high end dap I've had so nothing really to compare it to.

Thanks but can you elaborate on the sq a little. Huge upgrade where, how? I'm just trying to convince myself I'll see a £500 improvement. :D

I'm just considering this but not convinced I'll see enough of a difference over my current dx90, can anyone provide more info than I was able to find on the differences. Also has anyone compared it to the fiio x7? I'll be using some cosmic ears ce6p on it if that helps. Cheers.

I'm really happy with my CE6, to my ears they just seem to be a very good balance. I've not noticed any spikes at all, but it could just be that in my ageing years my hearing just isn't what it used to be and everything seems really good. I'm actually surprised by the amount of bass the 'P'...

@Xdaggersoul - I love the colour. How do you like them?

Pictures or it didn't happen.

They really do look good, much better in the flesh as the pictures don't do them justice. They are CE6P's and are the perfect balance for me. I thought they may be a little light in the bass but boy was I wrong these things really can hit hard. :D

  I'm really pleased with it too, CE said they'd tried something new and it was going to be a surprise.   To be honest it was cost, I'd really pushed the budget to breaking point and I just didn't have the rest of the cash to buy the Linum. It's something I can always get later as I think...

Well here they are. :)         Well what can I say, other than they are perfect. Anyone thinking of going for a set of Cosmic Ears, stop thinking and get ordering. For anyone currently waiting for their Cosmic Ears it really is worth the wait. They are quite expensive (certainly not...

Excellent news.   Not wanting to gloat too much but,   MINE HAVE BEEN SHIPPED!!!!   Oh yeah, Oh yeah! Now why can't I find a smiley of someone running round like a complete loon?

Mine now at order status 'Packaging'.   The tension is really building.

After that I've had Shell assembly Final finishing I think that's all. The assembly stage was the longest.

That's my feeling as well. I'd much rather plug them in and listen to them as they were created rather than messing with an EQ. I was lucky as I got to hear them with my music on my player so I should be fine. Sometimes the player can make a difference as well. The Ibasso DX90 I use apparently...

MIne was at that stage for a while and then last week I received an email to let me know everyhting was progressing as it should be. I think tomorrow will be 7 weeks since I placed my order so your's should be changing over very soon as well I would think.
