Hi all,
 
I have just bought my first Cowon and I would like to know something about sound quality. Cowon is famous for its good sound quality, but, comparing my M2 with my Samsung Galaxy S2, I have noticed that the M2 exalts glitches and noise. If I use the equalizer to change the sound these glitches becomes more audible. If I put all the bars to +12 without changing the center frequency of each bar, so using the default one, these glitches are small, but if I change the center frequency the sound seems to be distorted.
Is it normal?
I have used some headphones, and the best I have is the AKG Q460.
Is my M2 good or defective?
May it depends by the source?
I have used various mp3, and only one flac of the Muse to test. If I use a not so good source, is it possible that with a poor mp3 player the output is better because it is not able to make audible glitches?
 
In this situation it seems that my Samsung Galaxy S2 has a better quality, and it is absurd!
 
I have made test without bbe to check better the quality.
 
What do you think about?
