How about a M+ ? Like 128 internal gigs, two memory card slots, 75 hr battery life, dual dac !
You certainly haven't followed Cowon's history since the 90s...
They have NEVER EVER upgraded any of their DAPs at no cost, and don't allow strong discounts when they renew their products.
Want an upgrade? The Plenue 1 has always been the guest star while the M was its DOWNGRADE.
They were already selling DAPs with 8/16/32Gb internal memory and very similar features 10 years ago (perfectly inegrated microsd, gapless playing even with mp3 files, amazing eq, awesome autonomy). They have stopped being at the forefront of DAP evolution for a big, big while (actually since after the J3).
Lately, they've done nothing else thanboarding the A&K milking cow train by introducing "luxury" DAPs providing very few actual evolution over their previous DAPs (at immensely inflated pricetags). Plenue DAPs in all their "glory"...
Not forgetting that they provide the same (absence of) service as A&K. Just try to get you Cowon DAP repaired outside Korea, it's an adventure!
Plenue S comes around to confirm this "new" policy: how to provide very little "more" for twice the price of Plenue 1.
Can't wait for their 4000$ DAP, AK380-style! Maybe we'll get 256Gb and support of ultra-super-mega-ultra hi-res music (20Gb per album, it will be so much better, please trust manufacturers).
Just wish they could actually sell actual new features and better specs, not just "subjective" sound quality and gimmicks.
