Thank you all for your replies., Can you explain what you mean by a physical streamer? Is it something that you'd attach on the PC to stream over the wireless?

Hello, I used to only play music through my desktop in my room. Now that I finally moved into a proper place with a living room, I am wondering what would be the best way to access my massive music file collection from the living room, listening to music on the couch. Some ideas that I had...

Hello,   I am looking for a portable speaker in $40-150 range that I will connect to my Cowon J3 through AUX.   I bought the Cambridge Soundworks Oontz Angle Plus but found the sound quite disappointing, even with low expectations, and had to return it particularly as it had some issues with...

Is the balanced (forward) the new less-reverb version? I also see balanced (less-reverb) as a dropdown option? Is that something else.?

I would love to have separate configs specialized for speakers and headphones. I wouldn't feel too compelled to combine the two and possibly compromise the settings. Switching between configs is as trivial as switching between headphone and speaker outputs for most people.

Is there a way to update to the newest version without replacing the CFG files. I find that everytime I do that, all my settings (including playlists, music library) need to be remade.

                              Some recent ones. please click on them for larger size.

The "forward setting" is literally a godsend for most non-classical things, including rock, hiphop, electronica, and acoustic. I still cannot come to terms with any of these settings (including the laid back setting, which is interesting but alters the sonority/tonality of instruments too...

Any opinions?

Hello My setup has served me very well for years, but I would like to upgrade a component (or maybe two, if it's inexpensive enough) in the chain. I am currently using foobar2000 (asio4all) -> Keces PCM2702 Dac (usb) -> Little Dot mk III -> HD650 (stock) What would be the most cost...

Thanks for your efforts.   I am keenly using your preset for almost all non-classical thing I listen to.

Yeah it was definitely daft using the duster.

Today, I was foolishly trying to clean my headphone with a dust remover and accidentally deformed the thin vinyl-like sheet that's sitting on top of the driver. I am referring to the sort of elastic transparent sheet of probably vinyl that is directly over the drivers.   Instead of being...

Thanks for the comments. Maybe I have posted the last one in the past; my memory is not very good..   OK, how about 4 different perspectives of Half Dome, a tired icon? hopefully some of them will be fresh.     1.           2.         3.        ...

haven't posted in a long time..   1.       2.       3.      

Here is mine:      

I just tried it with the classical preset and didn't notice much difference, at least in the area that I was concerned about. Mainly, the mid-high treble range sounds "thinner" and less rich (although I am talking pretty subtle differences). There is probably improvement in soundstage but for...

Also, in general, I am finding I am not liking it as much for classical music. Whearas the forward projection and wider soundstage generally help recordings sound more exciting, I feel that I am too sensitive to the tonal/resolution changes that it brings in classical recordings. Of course, YMMV...

I am really liking with my headphones. What do you think it will be like with speakers? I can't quite decide what to think of it.

new review on the iaduiophile site reveals much improvement of firmware i think we just have to be patient and this player should shape up to anyone's hopes

Bets are off? I would bet that it would be excellent, given Cowon's track record and the specifications provided.

Another suggestion to wait for the Cowon D3. Looks to be THE player to get

  Quote: you are so eloquent  

  Quote:    It sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about. Have you even handled a Cowon player? I have (X5, D2, S9). I also have handled many other players (Ipod/itouch of different flavors, zune HD, creative etc). Every cowon player definitely had a "cowon" character...
