Doh! Thank you. I never thought of simply trying the place I'd bought it from!
I have contacted them now.
It's still a really great little player and worth getting sorted.
Thank you,

Sorry to reply to my own post but that company have replied with the unfortunate news that, at the moment, their Cowon repair service is suspended indefinitely as their specialist left. Let's hope they find someone with the skills to get things going again.

Now that I've expanded to external storage I've encountered a strange problem I don't know where to troubleshoot. MicroSD is 256GB, FAT32 via Guiformat, 32kb allocation size. Everything on the SD card is in a folder called MUSIC because it wouldn't display anything when I didn't have a folder called MUSIC.
The problem - some files simply refuse to play when loaded on the SD card. It says invalid file and shuts off, or runs through a few files, says invalid file on all of them and shuts off. I can copy the exact files from the SD card to the internal memory and they all play with no issues. Any ideas?

The player supports memory cards of no more than 128 GB.

Only officially. When formatted FAT32 the D2 supports memory cards up to 400GB. I might entertain the possibility if only the first or second 128GB on the card worked properly, but whether or not something plays from the card seems completely arbitrary. Roughly 150GBs of music is playing properly.

Have listed my unit in Classifieds, if anybody is interested, in mint condition. Thanks.

Anybody here knows how to factory-reset the PD2? Thanks in advance.

Settings - System - Load Defaults
Or, for a hard reset because it's bricked ... hold the volume + and - buttons for about 10 seconds.

Cheers mate, I think the Load Defaults is what I was looking for. Much obliged.

I have the strangest problem with the D2. The volume setting goes all the way to 140 but it caps way before that. As far as I can tell, 108 is the max and it doesn't make any difference past that. Does anyone else have this issue?

Sort of. I have the R2 which is almost the same DAP. I only use it with iems but it can run out of juice with the Tin Hifi P1 with music recorded at lower levels. It's been a while but I want to say at volume level of 126 I got some type of overload message. This was on high gain (over ear headphone mode) on the balanced output. If memory serves, it cut the output when the message came up. So not exactly the same issue as yours but I bet they are related. Those DAC chips (CS43131) have built in amplifiers and that's what the R2 and D2 use for amplification. There is some type of protection circuit built in. It's probably related to what you are experiencing as well.
Some things to check out ... Does it happen with both balanced and SE outputs? At all gain level settings? Does it behave the same with different headphones or iems?
Have you selected the EU region option? It sounds like the device’s volume cap has kicked in. There’s a way to reset it and choose non-EU to avoid the volume cap, but I don’t have a Plenue with me to check how at the moment.

Is this a hard limit or was 400GB the biggest reasonably available at time of posting?

Doesnt work - you can get 400gb of audio onto a card but above 128gb it no longer recognizes the files
128 gb is a hard limit
