As far as I remember there were no 1.05 firmware for Plenue M2 ,there is such firmware but for different player - Cowon M2.
Update your PM2 to the latest 1.10

Damn Cowon's naming convention.....

Thanks

I decided to keep the Cowon P2. PM2 SQ is nearly as good as the P2. But as an audiophile I want maximum Sound Quality. And the P2 is delivering this. I can't imagine that a DAP can sound better than this. The Combo Cowon P2 + Moon Audio Silver Dragon Cable + Shure 846 is mind blowing. Don't get me wrong the PM2 is worth every Penny and it feels very sexy (very well build), but the P2 SQ is superior (soundstage, resolution, depth). Besides it has the two knobs above where you can change volume and jet effect, a included leather case and slightly better battery life. My Conlusion If you have the money, don't waste any time, this DAP lets your audiophile dreams come true, and it's 2700€ cheaper then the overpriced AK SP1000 that uses the same DAC.

Thanks sg2k!!!!
I appreciate your feedback.
I just went to the Cowon site looking for some help on a screen protector, no joy here in Thailand. AND saw that there is a new FW update for the PM2.
I just installed it, V1.11 and great sound is still here on the PM2.
Happy as a pig in poop here!!!!

Pls help. Since there is no line out, the instructions for my Plenue M2 say I can take an optical out from my headphone jack to input into my processor. What kind of cable is that? I see a graphic showing S/PDIF????
Also Cowon says my unit can act as a DAC for my computer, via the USB connection. Anybody know how to do that and would that be better than the above? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, and God Bless, Wayne

Never mind guys, I got help on the Cowon FB site. I know now what connection I need and have ordered one already.

Can someone check if home button actually does anything? On my PM2,no matter what function I choose and from which part of the menu I try to use it, it does not change a thing. I am on latest 1.11 fw,, tried on previous version same result.

Hey Soundtrap, are you talking about the multi button? Go to settings and system and set the multi button to do what you want, I set mine to Browser and that is exactly where it takes me.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I tried to set it up to either of 3 options and even after resetting the player still does not do anything. Does not respond to a pressing at all.

Sounds like something is wrong.
You are talking about that little round button that is not a button on the bottom of the screen right? You should be able to program it.

Do you have screen protector on it? On my player it works normally but I need to press the home button firmly

 

[Soundtrap]

Thanks man, you are right. Damn thing you have to stab it, like the old cassette players back in the day! Lol! You'd expect that multi button is capacitive, like the rest of the screen. Weird from Cowon to make it so difficult and with limited functionality, I'd prefer if there is option for adding currently played song to Favourites with one touch of the button, aka FiiO X5III, rather than have to go through 4 stages as it is at the moment. Pity, Plenue players are not attended to by guys like Chakra and Kizune, who did marvels with S9, J3 and X7 firmwares.
