The D2 isn’t at all bombastic.The R has a different sound signature that sounds more refined and polite. The D is suited to bombastic music or metal. People disagree but i prefer the R.

Are your other players made of metal?I too believe that it's the speakers. However, why is the issue only present with the pd2, and not any of my auther daps?
What could be the cause for this?
@Soundtrap yeah, the FiiO X5II is, afaik.
@Photoman not to burst your bubble, but the soundstage is entirely dependent on your headphones, their placement on your head, and the anatomy of your head/ears. (plus your psychoacoustic perception)
Just try it with loudspeakers and you will see what a massive difference placement makes.
Bull****!
Your post isn't worth more words .
Cable sound.. LoL
So if you did use the EQ the music from the D2 will sound good, but because you put a rule onto yourself to never use any EQ then you have a bad sounding dap with a good battery life ? Brilliant.No it is not entirely dependent on the speakrs / HPs. Source, software, amplification and cables play role.
PD2 has very weak sound staging capabilities. In general it is warm and lacks in resolution. The only two good things about it is battery life and EQ and as I do not like EQing the music it leaves me only with battery life.
It is not worth its asking price unless your priority is to have warm and fuzzy sounding source with all spacial information lost and drawn in its fuzziness.
If you are after neutral and faithful reproduction then avoid this DAP. It might be good for some POP and low quality music if you want to mask its dreadful mastering but if you listen to live instruments, classical, jazz and quality masters from other geners then Cowon PD2 will be a very poor companion.
I mean if you looking for commute player then maybe it will be as good as any other but if you want to do also some critical listening on it then you simply will not be able to as so much information is lost.
Cheers
