I'm still using Cowon S9, but the power/lock button is broken.

I was wondering the same thing about JetEffect 5 vs 7. Does it affect the presets like BBE Viva etc, or does it add more different ones, or what?

Cheers.

Having owned a bunch of Plenues, and the S9 and J3, I’d say the changes to the sound from the presets are the same. The same range of presets are in both JetEffect 5 and 7 and they seem to do the same alteration, although difficult to compare as each player does sound a bit different. The only difference I can tell is JetEffect 7 has 10-band EQ for the User custom settings vs 5-band EQ on JetEffect 5.

Since JetEffect 7 is only on the larger players it makes me wonder whether there’s a hardware limitation and JetEffect 7 requires more processing power than the smaller models have. But I don’t know if that’s the reason or if Cowon just purposely limit version 7 to their higher tier players to differentiate them.

Strange, it's also the only thing they're selling at the moment...

I am intrigued at this. I own the original plenue D, so I know how to temper my expectations. Has someone reviewed this?

The only review I've been able to find is the video linked in post #10 in this thread - it's in Korean but with English subtitles option.

Any word on whether it will be released internationally?

Only just seen this, but amp3 have it.

Haha. Can't believe I missed that, this thread only has 2 pages. Thanks.

It's quite funny because I recall Cowon has an older DAP named Cowon's D3 Plenue, but that was android 2.1 DAP with bluetooth and hdmi support (of all things!).

Yeah I found that out while googling for reviews - why would they give their product the exact same name as a previous player? Seems like a weird thing to do when there’s plenty of letters and numbers left for them to use!

I don't like the small black cubic design.

They also did a great sale a couple of months back at amazon.com, and now they have fewer and fewer products to offer there, maybe they're leaving the west market?

Wow, the price dropped $100 already, now $259:

I don't recall the PD2 being that cheap so soon after release.

Received it today. Much smaller than I thought it was. The UI is kind of weird at first. Haven't had time to play much with it for now.

For those wondering, only JetEffect5. I tried a 200Gb microSD card and it crashed.
