i know one is the successor to the other.. but are there any major differences?

 

[anadin]

iaudio 9 has JetEffect 3.0 the iaudio 7 doesn't.

iaudio 9 has a more slimmer appearance than the chunky iaudio 7.

iaudio 7 has superior battery life compared to the iaudio 9.

 

[nukaidee]

hmm.. can anyone speak for the difference in JetEffect 3.0 vs 2.0? I really don't need the video function and I like the red on the iaudio7 more.. but I hate to lose on the newer JetEffects if its a substantial difference...

 

[Partybreaker]

I don't know the difference between JetEffect 2.0 and 3.0, but I think that i7 has JetEffect 1.0...? BBE+ is JetEffect 2.0 AFAIK, and i7 doesn't have it, only D2+ and older firmware versions of S9.

add - i9 has gapless, i7 does not.

EnzoTen finished and posted the review in the review section a while back.

@ nukaidee,
I’ve had the i7 now almost 3 years, I love mine but the screen size is real small, you can click link under my sig to read my opinion on it. I'm now waiting on an i9 myself and can't wait to test it out. BTW there are some people that don’t like the UI on the i7, but I never had issues with it.

JetEffect 3.0 on i9 is on page 34 here: http://www.cowonglobal.com/download/...nual_1.1EN.pdf

JetEffect on i7 overall is page 35 here, but on this manual the details are spread out over different pages, use the ctl F for JetEffect: http://www.cowonglobal.com/download/...nual_1.2EN.pdf

Edit: here's the i9 review link: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi...-i9-review.php

I doubt I’ll do a formal review, probably post my opinions on it like I did the i7, Enzo’s reviews are typically fair and honest, also dfkt has one and has praised it. Like I said above, I really enjoy the sq on the i7 and I’m sure is equal to or better, at least it has gapless

Edit: BTW beyond the review and forum on it at abi, you can check the iaudiophile forums, they have an i9 forum as well.

Yes, look at post #8 here, I edited it earlier and AFAIK dfkt didn't review it but posted a lot about it both on abi and iaudiophile, I'll look for the links and edit this post in a few

Edit: On abi, look for the i9 threads in the Cowon iAudio 6 / 7 / 9 forums: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...splay.php?f=26

No problem, happy to help, I gotta run for now but I'll check this thread later ...

 

[nukaidee]

Great! thanks for the links. I think i'll go with a i9 instead then.. I dont really need the 16 gb so I can just save myself a couple dollars. Sure it looks worse, but if it sounds better.. why not. appreciate the help guys.
