I don't normally use any cases on my devices, but want one this time because the corners and edges are too sharp for being put in a pocket
It doesn't look very bad compared to plastics or silicon aftermarket cases you see everyday on phones

The case is nice

I've taken a needle file to mine and blunted the edges. Works good but I'd still like a case.

  I am debating buying one of these.
 
I currently use a Sony Z1 Compact with an iBasso Mk II D zero amp.
 
Will the Cowon (or any other similarly priced dap) sound demonstrably better?

Oh well, I am a click buy addict and couldn't wait.
 
I'll let you all know the answer to my burning question within a week or two.

I had a z1 and whilst it sounded good, nothing compared to Cowon's dsp. I'm sure the amp helps though. Play around with the eq and dsp, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Tbh I have always used a dap. Don't like the idea of running my phones battery down or lack of dedicated track skip/play pause buttons and generally worse sound quality.

I want a dedicated player that provides great SQ with good battery life rather than having a phone, an amp, an extra cable etc etc (at least on the road anyway). It all becomes too many bits - I like the "one device concept"! Also of having a 128 GB card with pretty much all my music on one player where space is not competed for with other media or apps etc.
 
I love the size of this thing espeically and that it's "just" a player, no more. Looking forward to testing it out soon.

Just ordered the D from Gmarket.
 
Couldn't pass up the cheap price for the leather case and screen protector. 
 
Cant wait to compliment the 5TX I just got with this great DAP.

First impressions here as well, in regard to the mentioned problems. I updated to the current firmware prior to testing.
 
UI lag - I cannot perceive any lag, where do you usually get it?
 
Output power - This little beast drives my Beyerdynamic 770 pro 250 ohm with ease, so anything "less" should be no problem at all.
 
 
Overall REALLY loving the sound, it's even a subjective step up from my dear J3 that is sitting right next to it with a semi-dysfunctional battery. Rest well dear friend, you served  me well and faithfully for long, long years.

 

[crazy eddie]

Get the case and put a screen protector it's worth it, and you can use a stylus pen that matches and clips on to a cell phone carrying case

 

[kageroh]

Still hoping there will be a little cheaper cover soon, 40-60 bucks is a bit much for a flimsy little leather thingy.

 

[Pacman123]

Yeah I agree its way too expensive by itself.
 
That's why I went for the Gmarket special because you get all 3 for less then you could get just the D for.

On a side-note - is there some kind of editor or unpacker that is able to read / unpack / repack the .bin firmware files? I would love to replace some of the background and stock album pictures, but they apparently are not saved somewhere accessible on the player itself.
