Newegg.com - COWON 2.0" Black 8GB MP3 / MP4 Player iAudio9

Now don't all order all at once ; )

Totally worth it. Gapless and BBE ViVA for the literal win.

Shame it's US only.

Shame is not a Cowon S9.

Where does Cowon rank in terms of SQ amongst the competition? Like the Sony Walkman X?

 

[Phiber33]

I haven't tried myself, but posts report that the Cowon S9 and Sony X series are similar in terms of SQ, with the sony being warmer and the cowon a bit more analytical - again I have not tried those myself, but Cowon has a good reputation for excellent SQ no matter what.

Well, how about the S9 16gb for 200?

Why does it say it is a new item when it has been out for several years?

 

[dfkt]

The i9 has been out for less than two months.

 

[Karuto]

My bad. On Amazon's site, it shows it as being first listed in 2004.

Heh, if it would have been released back then, an 8GB flash memory player would have been about $5000 or so.
