wonder how it is compared to the bigger brother P1

Looks nice.
Hopefully it will be smaller in size compared to the big brother.
I don't read Korean but I just assumed it will have 64Gb internal memory from the Korean text in the last photo

They need to revamp the J3 imo

True. Though if the plenue m would have a lower price point, we would be almost there

842 usd is still high. The M is the small brother... where is the small price.

Any korean reviews available?

 

[Sound Eq]

no reviews yet?

 

[fxim]

Apparently it is out already in Hong Kong.

weird why no feedback yet, also price difference between the m and p1 is not high, now u get a p1 from ebay for less than 1000 usd

 

[globiboulga]

Yes, interesting pricing here. Probably $200 too expensive. At least for 64GB...

$999AUD for Aussies. It's pretty much the same size as the P1, just a tad bit shorter. You can't tell unless you put the players next to each other.
 
I haven't done a side by side test but I'm guessing it should be the same sound, the hardware is the exact same just with less memory. One interesting thing is that the Plenue M has a longer battery life over the P1.

so there is no difference in specs at all except the battery life and size?

Sefu, ordered one. Looking forward to doing some 'road testing' with it. Limit was $1000 so perfect for me!

Quick glance shows they have different dac chips, both burr brown, different models though.

Looking forward to your impressions!

I stand to be corrected, the M uses a Burr-Brown PCM1795 DAC while the P1 uses PCM1792A, other than that I can't see any other differences.
