Hi folks,
after a long year of searching for the ideal DAP I have purchased the Cowon D2.
First of all I have to say to all of you saying robotic, unnatural too analytic...... etc. that I do not understand what you are talking about. None of the description fits the D2 (and I am not talking about personal listening preferences).
The D2 is build wery good. The body will last for a long time and the screen is good also. The icons on the screen are maybe a bit small for people with bigger fiingers (but they can use the stylus). Video quality is superb for portable use. The user interface is just easy to use.
The battery life looks good. I am using the D2 6 days now (1 hour video and cca. 15 hours audio) and the 1st bar disappeard today so I assume that it should last more than 45 hours (good enough for me).
And now the important part. AUDIO QUALITY:
Untill now I have listened to various IPods, some Creative players, my old Thomson player and some other noname players.
The Cowon is the best sounding one of them. I will not write long poems about the sound. I like good instrument separation (so not bloated, too bright or recessed sound). I am listenig to many kinds of music from classical to Big Beat. I just like the sound.
I will update this thread with more info about the equalizer and the other sound settings.
In case somebody has some questions, I will be glad to answer them.
EDIT:
OK. I have purchased the UE Triple Fi 10. I think they have good synergy with the D2 and I am absolutely happy with this combination. The instrument separation is finally on the level of my personal listening NIRVANA.
I just wanted to share my happiness. I will be there for people with questions
