Hi all.
Did anyone here go directly from the Cowon S9 or J3 to the Plenue D? If so was the sound quality/change worth it? I'm using my Shure SE535 as my dailies (though temporarily using some UE600s because my Shure cable has flaked out).
The 'dilemma' I have is that my J3 works just fine. Battery still reasonable, still sounds good, no major issues at all.
Is it worth replacing my J3 when I have no notable issues with it? Or perhaps only when my J3 inevitably dies.
Small shame it doesn't have Bluetooth, (only used for an external portable speaker in rare instances, not a deal breaker).
I've read many complain about the clunky UI (Frankly expected from Cowon) but the PM2 is almost 3 times the price here in Aus so I won't be jumping onto that. It's basically a choice of FiiO X5, Plenue D, or wait til my J3 dies then decide..
If the sound quality jump is not reasonably noticeable over the J3 I may just wait it out..
