New - Cowon Plenue S

Hi there! :)

Glad to join this thread as I've just got a PS - a very nice DAP indeed.
Just a quick Q -can I use the headphone out as a standard Line-out without any issues?
For example, to connect PS to external stereo system?
Thanks!
Hello,

I can just answer it indirectly, as I have a cowon cradle for plenue s. Standard output of the cradle is a balanced output for headphones. I connected it directly to my stereo amplifier and it works perfectly.
The cradle is basically just a very expensive and nice looking cable :).

So I am sure you can use headphones out as line out (cradle out is a headphone out....designed especially for headphones).

Getting familiar with my PS - very solid, awesome sounding DAP. :)
Btw, how much hours does your PS usually work with moderate ohmage Full Size Closed-Back headphones, like Phonon SMB-02?
Was a bit surprised to find no indication of current % of battery capacity.

i honestly wish that cowon will have a way or another for us to be able to have tidal on their daps

head the sony wm1a and of course cowon plenue s is better as an all in all dap and better sounding one especially in details and UI

from all daps I have or had still cowon plenue s is the best dap I heard.

Sound Eq,

You have had a bunch if my memory serves me.

Did you hear the AK380 ? What was the runner up to the Plenue S?

I have been thinking of upgrading to a Hugo 2 and Digital transport. I am not sure if the added bulk would translate to better sound. What are your thoughts?

BTW I experienced a nice jump in performance when I upgraded to a balanced cable for my 1964 U12's. Increased power and focus but YMMV because the U12's need more power to shine

Thanks

It is great pleasure to have such nice peace of equipment. I listen to music every day....and every time I put my headphones on and choose what to hear....it makes me happy and appreciative. We are living in such a marvelous times...to be able to have such little gems. Life is wonderful :)

Indeed !!
I commute 3 hours a day and the Plenue S takes me out of the stinky subway car and into my favorite bands recording studio.

tried all new cowon ones but still cowon plenue s is the best sounding to me

it sounds way better than my ak380 with amp

i decided to hold off buying any dap until a new flagship from cowon comes out that is worth the upgrade
