Thank you so much Hi-Fier , I surly will try the way you explain

You are welcome. Once you get used to these user adjustable presets you can add more presets or adjust them like add EQ etc to your heart's desire.

Don't use the presets. User your own definable preset.

1. Leave EQ flat.
2. Use BBE and set it to around +5 or more depending on your IEM/headphone preference.
3. Try MP on and off to add clarity (if needed).
4. Try 3D Surround, adding +1, +2, +3 or about +4 range no more. Anything beyond +5 is too much and sounds way too wide like a reverb almost.
5. Try Mach3Bass. Set to whatever you like. It adds fullness to the whole bottom end if your IEM/headphone needs it or you like deep full bass, there is no wrong or bad value here.

I find these the best natural/realistic setting that show off the true full potential of this DAP depending on the genre and or your preference how much you apply these settings. NOT using them you are missing out on 80% of what the P2 is designed and capable of.

I do it like this.

User 1 - EQ:Off / BBE +6 / MP On / Mach3Bass +3 / 3D Surround +3
User 2 - EQ:Off / BBE +7 / MP On / Mach3Bass +3 / 3D Surround +2
User 3 - EQ:Off / BBE +8 / MP Off / Mach3Bass +3 / 3D Surround +1
User 4 - EQ:Off / BBE +9 / MP Off / Mach3Bass +3 / 3D Surround Off

You can use these as an example and listen to all your genre and then switch them live while the music is playing to see which one you prefer. I use these and switch between them not cause I don't know which I like, but more for different types of genre and the way the song was recorded. Some songs have large amount of width and reverb so I use User 1 to add to it but not make it too extreme. Where there is no reverb etc, and music is flat and dull and boring I use User 4. If anything in between I go between 2 and 3 but it's rare but I like to have it. I go between 1 and 4 often as I have a wide variety of genre.

Try it and see what you think.

Very useful
Pretty soon , I will get my P2 and be able to try...

Does someone know if the Plenue 2 can handle Replaygain ?

One of the best combination I've owned so far
P2+Wagnus Sieve Sheep + iSine20

Have somebody tried connecting P2 to a smartphone? Mine is working as a DAC while listening to Tidal.

Hi,
how did you do this?. I have an Samsung S7 and I connected it with an usual Micro-b to Micro-b OTG Cable and it doesn´t work. What Cable did you use?

I have a regular OTG Fiio cable , I think you need to check the settings in your S7, USB configuration and then set it to USB as a sound source.
In my HTC that option is in the menu "settings"- "programmers option"

 

[sg2k]

Do you have USB Debugging on? I have the Option "USB Configuration" There I can choose between Charging/MTP/PTP/RNDIS/Audiosource/MIDI. Did you mean this? I have choosen Audiosource but still nothing happens. There comes an message on my S7 in the status bar "high performance USB device connected...Access to this device not possible"

 

[AndrewPL]

I have USB debugging ON. when you connect it to P2 you have to click DAC on the P2,screen.
In P2 settings set USB mode to MSC/DAC before connecting to your mobile

Yes i know this. But when I connect it there comes nothing. With my PC there is no problem. I think this must be a cable issue. I will try another cable, soemthing like this https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapt...id=1503255409&sr=8-3&keywords=ugreen+otg&th=1

The cable I used looks like this:

Has anyone tried the cowon with the kaiser encore universals?

Best.

It is really hard to top the DX200 in term of soundstage width, all of my previous daps such as Opus3, Opus2, QP1R, Pawgold all have narrower soundstage compared to DX200.
But Soundstage depth of the P2 is not inferior to the DX200 at all , by the way I just try some dsp settings, the one I like is "Dance" , I think the pace is faster and the bottom end has more body, Jet effects is indeed really a good feature, I think the P2 is a keeper for me (only maybe QP2R ,which I will try on sunday, can change my mind, have to listen to it first,because I actually am a fan boy of QP1R )

Isn't SNR on DX200 125db ? The 2 only has 123dB

Its on balanced output but unbalanced is 122dB on DX 200 and P2 has 123dB.
The rest of the specs are better on P2 : stereo crosstal -137db Unbalance/-139dB Balanced versus DX200 -118dB Unbalance/-122dB Balanced

Sorry if its a dummy question, but where can I find a description of each setting of JetEffect 7 ? I don't mean the presets - even if would be nice too to know what's behind - but the different parts of JetEffect : BBE, MP Enhance, and even if more obvious, Mach3bass, 3D surround.
I now have my Plenue 2 and spend time to fine tune the settings to my taste...
