New Head-Fier
Never had the D2, only two D1s and it does not sound any different to them. Unless you listen via Bluetooth and then you’ll see how poor Bluetooth is on the D3.Does this sound any different to the D2?

I have the exact same thing. I have a feeling it can be put down to using flac files but even then they advertised more than 7 hours when playing flacs. I don't think there's anything you can do about itI got a new PLENUE D3 a couple of months ago and I am getting about 7 hours use from the battery mostly using 24bit 96kHz FLAC, much less than the 30hrs that is advertised. The battery indicator seems fine as I have fully run the battery out. Are others also finding issues with the battery life?
Only 25 seconds?!?! I must be doing something wrong. For me it was taking sometimes 2.5 minutes. I didn't end up returning mine but may sell it at some point as I now have a Sony NW-A105.I also have a 128gb sd card about 75% full and start up takes about 25 seconds.
You are lucky. i'm using 24bit 96kHz FLAC and the battery drain is terrible. after 2 hours is out of order. maybe there were a stock of poor battery inside.For some reason the D3 has been out of stock a lot, which seems odd for a new player. The sound is great - can't complain about that at all and for me that is the most important feature. I like the volume control wheel and do not use the Bluetooth. The file transfer speed is appalling but not a major drama. My battery life at about 7 hours which I can live with but I hope it does not deteriorate too much over time. Cowon refused to send me a replacement battery.
I noticed they only have some earphones on the market now, and tracking down a D3 here in Korea is even hard. Does anyone know if Cowon has stopped with making DAPs? I tried contacting the company directly, and got no response. Everything is sold out on their website as well. I feel like I might be making a post about a piece of abandonware but here goes;Hope they will manage to bring out a better D4 soon...
There’s been some discussion about whether Cowon’s still in business in the PR thread.

Initially I was thinking of getting a D3 for the bluetooth on an ANC headphone (sony xm3), but reviews are pretty sparse and not so positive about the connectivity. Also, no one has been able to definitely say if it was using the Aptx codec for bluetooth or just SBC. If anyone can update the thread of their usage that would be helpful.
Thanks, wow this isn't great news...There’s been some discussion about whether Cowon’s still in business in the PR thread. Check out this post and the pages around it: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cowon-plenue-r-all-round-player.855223/page-29#post-17122555
