Hello,   Which Music Manager Software do you use to import your music into your Cowon DAP?   Being an owner of both a Cowon S9 and iAudio 7, I have always used Easy CD Extractor...then dropped the files into Jet Audio...when importing in FLAC format.   Do most Cowon owners simply use...

Is said headphone jack very strong? I keep accidentally dropping my PMP through various ways and it winds up dangling from my Earphone cable and i'm worried that's screwing up my headphone jack.

Hi All,   Here is an interesting thing I came across. I was trying to decide a new MP3 player as my old iPod(classic 5th generation) just died. I consider sound quality is most important part of an mp3 player as I have a smartphone for everything else. After reading a lot of reviews i had...

I use a Cowon S9 + Soundmagic PL50 and for the most part love the sound combination. Unfortunately i do find that this combination doesnt always have enough bass or warmth for certain types of music. Would adding an amp add a bit of warmth back into the mix? The E5 or E7 sounds as if it...

I'm asking for any recommendations anybody would give for portable mp3 players. I've read that the Clip+ has great sound, but nothing about anything else. The Sony E34x and S54x players also came to mind, as it's something I'm looking for. So yeah, I'm looking to get a rather small player that...

I'm not the first, but I might be the last person to drop their H320 down the toilet. It was in my pocket and slipped out when I stood up, plunging into the toilet and taking a full (not-very-clean) bath. I disassembled it, dabbed it with a paper towel, and let it dry out completely for 24...

I'm torn between these two players, as I am now closing in on a purchase. I've already decided on the IEM's, and plan to get the Shure SE530PTH. So, which ever DAP suits these phones, is probably best in helping me make a final decision. After having read a review, apparently the SE530's are...

From what I understand is that the differences are the size, microSD slot, and UI. I'd rather get the S9, since it is a full $100 cheaper for the 32 GB model. Did the UI get any specific improvements in V2.53? How can Cowon charge $100 for an SD card slot?! It is amazing!

I'm planning on buying a Cowon S9 today and I read that it is a little warm, so I that means I should get something cold. I was going to get the Thinksound Rain, but I hear they are also warm. Overall I just want a good pair of IEMs, bellow $100.   I've seen the following: Altec Lansing...

Hi, I'm going to be getting a Cowon S9. So far I've been using a Creative MuVo with an Shure E2C. Can't say that I was impressed with the E2C SQ (felt it was flat and dry) but it provided great Noise Isolation. But unfortunately its cable cracked and it doesn't work anymore. I'm looking for...

Hey, I am currently using an unamped cowon s9 and some um3x with large oval single flange klipsh tips. I ADORE my current set up, but im looking to get some decent headphones for practicallity - they will probably be used for both home use and on the go. i still havent decided if i want an...

  I was wondering if it is worth it to amp a Cowan S9. I thought i heard in the past it might not be worth it. I have a pair of Fischer Audio Db-02 coming soon. I was looking at Ibasso or RSA......i like the dac on the ibasso better and the optical output.

I'm deciding between the 32G J3 and S9. Is there a noticeable difference is SQ? Any other important differences? I've heard some say they were disappointed in the SQ of the S9 compared to other Cowon models. The touch screen/video capabilities aren't a big deal to me.   Thanks, D    ...

i am so super tired of my itouch with preset eq,, if it had a 7 band eq i would be more than fine with it( could also really use a volume wheel pot  or any other pot for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)   i have been wanting to try the cowon s9 specifically because of its eq( iforget how many...

Hello,   I've noticed a bit of distortion on Massive Attack's Angel with my current setup : S9 + ESW10 (no EQ, stock cable). It manifests itself as soon as the bass starts to fill in and sounds like a very faint buzz in the upper bass / lower mids frequencies.   I tried to know if by...

I just wanted to know which EQ setting others are using for their s9s. I switch between Viva 2 and BBE headphone 3, depending on the bass thats on the track. But if someone knows or made an EQ with similar bass and more forward mids and highs, like Rock, I'd like to know.

Introduction The Cowon S9 has been on the block for a little while now, but there have been few reports as to how it performs from a sound quality perspective. While the iPod Touch is a more direct competitor for the S9 in terms of design and features, I wanted to evaluate the S9 on a purely SQ...

I have had this setup for portable and home use for a few months now, and am always impressed by the audio quality.   But I have to say that tonight, listening to markus schulz' new album encoded in flac on my s9 through my ie8s, i was completely blown away. You know when you are completely...

What do you guys think is better quality sound?  Do you think S9's FLAC capability is an upgrade from 320kbs sound outputted by Sony X series? 

Is the DVE (DSA-51U-05 adapter suitable for charging the J3 as it is for the S9? I've used it twice and the battery life seems to have been lowered, but I could be wrong.... do I really have to charge this with the computer every time?

I just bought a Cowon S9 from B&H Photo, fairly good price at $286.61 CDN including shipping. 15 day money-back guarantee, so I have that reassurance if it turns out to be a knock-off. But I'm still kind of anxious. Did I get a good deal? How does the Cowon compare to running from my MacBook...

Right now, I have the iPod touch 16gb 1G. I really like it, but I don't like how I have to use apple lossless, and that the iPod is centered around iTunes. There are so many players out there, and I'm new to all this audio stuff. However, I do like how the iPod has a huge touch screen and tons...

I have a sansa clip rockbox and a westone 3 headphones is the sound quality of the sansa clip on rockbox the same as the cowon s9    what makes the cowon s9 any different is it the EQ settings, but does it sound better even if you don't use the EQ settings,    I mean your comparing a 200...

I haven't been here in a long time, probably over a year. I remember from last time I was reading the threads regularly that many people think that other sources have much better sq than iPods. I was happy with mine so I never checked anything else out. I do have a lot of apps on it, and use it...

I get my new Cowon S9 today and it have a Norwegian special FW 4.30 !!! I try to load the FW 2.52 but it dont starts?   I also make a complete formating of the device and after that copy over the 2.52 files. But no action, and the 4.30 version loaded as normal?   Any tips?   /Lennart
