  Man, it's a tough choice between this and iBasso DX80. Is anybody aware, if these DAPs can be auditioned in Minneapolis, MN area?
 
 
Thanks.

I am struggling mostly features wise and of course haven't heard them yet. DX80 is so versatile, so many ways to connect and expand. Can Plenue D work as DAC/AMP when connected to PC or Smart Phone?
 
Thanks.

Valid point. The PD excels in the areas of sound and portability but it does lack features. It all depends where your priorities lie.

As an all rounder it falls short, as a portable option, I would say it'll be hard to beat.

Yes the DX80 is great in having two memory card slots and it has many different ways to connect. The Cowon D Inly is better in :xf_eek:ver all Sound, having an Analog sound instead of sounding digital,a great EQ, BBE, size, battery life,and being made in South Korea.

Hi everyone! Im pretty new to the hi def party and I thought I'd get your opinion. Ive been looking at the Cowon D after owning a Cowon J3, but I'm pretty split between the Plenue D and Sony's NWZ-ZX1. The NWZ-ZX1 is about $150 more (used) than the Cowon D (new). Have any of you used both and prefer one over the other? I know the NWZ-ZX1 is android and has streaming etc., but I really liked the J3's BBE and drag and drop file management and battery life. If someone can give me their thoughts these two player it would really help me out. Oh, and maybe someone can suggest a decent pair of headphones or ear-buds for a beginner. Thank you :)

Has anyone had their Plenue D freeze up on them yet?  I tried to delete a song directly on the Plenue and I received a "Waiting" sign on the screen.  It is still there, can't turn it off using the power button or sleep for that matter.  Doesn't respond when I plug in the USB either (except the red light on the power/sleep button).
 
Anyone know of any fixes?  A way to hard reset?
