Hey guys, Ryuzoh from MST is looking at my Plenue D. He may or may not be able to modify it. He is currently modifying my AK100 mkii and has balance modified my Mojo (about which I wrote this article). He says that if successful, I will get the Plenue D back in early June. I'll keep you up to date. I'd be most happy if his mods were able to better sustain loaded stereo signals. I don't know the price yet. I paid quite a bit for the Mojo-Kai mod, which has three or four tiers of modification. 
 
If you have any questions please ask. If you have insults, go ahead and hurl them my way.

Im interested in improving this tiny gem of a dap.

He's here just for the flame.
I won't even call it a debate because talking nonsense doesn't make a debate.

He and his buddy can hate but they should create their own thread .

he is deluded

And, after a gallon of water, I'm not only dilluted, I'm detoxed. Out damn scotch!

Nope.

The companies on this site are delusional.. 
The touchscreen was maybe expensive when it first came out in mid 2000's.

The marketing scheme of companies on this site makes you guys think you guys should pay that much money for a device which has apparently worse touchscreen, wifi, cpu, battery life than that of a $50 prepaid phone.

So, what I'm saying is all these price tags are questionable. As you can see, you can get a touchscreen, wi-fi, snapdragon CPU, full resolution, Android 5 OS device for only $59 now. They don't ask you for contract either...
It could cost $799 if it came out in mid 2000's but not anymore...

Whatever man... even If I say this thousand times, you will spend ten thousand dollars on a DAP without touchscreen or CPU. 

Good luck, I'll log off.

Here's a suggestion.. Jet Audio has their app available on Apple, so you can use their app which include a lot of the same basic Fx as the Cowon players but you get the fluidity of the Apple iOS, so for those of us who already have old iPhones laying around, just get an external DAC of your choice and be done.. Lol..

I rather not have an antenna, Wifi receiving/broadcasting device to be on the same device as a DAP. Purity is the key to audio and for the OCD people a peace of mind "to think" they are really hearing the best at all times. If people don't care about audio get a $50.00 phone and connect it however you want. Most purists won't want that, I sure do not.
 
My phone does everything I can imagine already, I don't like these two devices mixed together. For on the go who cares sure it's nice, but when I want to be serious a DAP without all that is idea. Some things just don't go together. Show me ONE professional audio recording studio device or DAP or mixing board or recording device that has a Wifi or email capability on it. You won't and there is a reason why.

Just my stupid opinion.

Does Cowon support steaming app like Spotify?

The Plenue D has no WiFi/internet at all, so no, it does not support streaming apps like Spotify.

 

[Hi-Fi'er]

Not on the D or P1 or S or M.

 

[GoodGucciGoo]

Ohh too bad, cuz I really really like the design of this DAP, and it fits in my budget. Do you know any dap that supports spotify?

I am not 100% sure, but probably the Echobox Explorer X1.
 
Or get yourself a (probably used) iPhone solely for that purpose (with the option of adding an external DAC in case you feel like the internal DAC and Amp stages are not "audiophile" enough).

Has anyone compared Cowon D with Fiio X3/X5?

Look forward to comparing my FiiO X3 (1st gen), iBasso D14 and Plenue D (once it arrives). Shall update in a week or two, as i should be receiving my unit in a few days' time.
