Here's a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPA357YidiQ#) which demonstrates the user interface of the Cowon C2. Assuming the D20 is similar you should be able to figure out the basics based on...

I've been using Shure SE530's for several years now. They are great but the impedance behavior is a bit on the tricky side. A low output impedance circuit on the source is needed to avoid audible...

You mean subjective opinion. If you want objective opinion you'll need to perform a double blind listening test (which very few people actually ever bother doing) or systematic measurement using...

Sure, like I said in the chatbox its quite likely that the Cowon EH2 is nothing but a rebranded close relative of T-peos H-100. This kind of collaboration does make some sense to me, though. Cowon...

Yep, its crazy. Don't do it, it won't work. Any difference in hardware at all makes the firmware incompatible. The D20 is closer relative to C2 than D2 I believe. Probably it won't accept it at all...

That just confirms that they used the old C2 UI, even the spinning disc is there. I bet the UCIs are cross-compatible so maybe we will see some more custom UCIs for both of the devices. The kinda sad...

I just tried a 48kHz flac on my J3 and it played just fine. I doubt the S9 is any different from the J3 so the problem is likely unrelated to the 48k sampling rate. Are you sure your files are...

According to Cowon's own specification, the SNR of the Z2 is 95 dB, which is not even full 16 bits. In other words I would not worry about 24-bit compatible software because the hardware limits the...

Mp3 doesn't perform well at low bitrates, that is true. However, the modern mp3 encoders do excellent job at high bitrates so I don't think one can actually hear any artifacts except in some very...

Sounds like your tunes might be in "high resolution" format (96kHz/24bit etc)? If so, you should downsample to 44/16 and the FLACs should play just fine. In fact I'm not sure if J3 can play 48/16,...
