A cover for the Micro SD slot is also already installed and also something that I already know from Cowon (it is actually quite useful and prevents the player from dust getting insode when intending to use it without a memory card but solely with the internal memory).
#Cowon a2 red x manual#
It is a simple and black cardboard box that contains the player (with a temporary screen protector applied), a charging/data transfer cable, a brief manual (the real and very detailed plus informative manual is located on the player’s internal memory) and a warranty card. The Package the Plenue M2 arrives in is very simple and something I already know from Cowon (from the Plenue D that I used to own). Before I go on with my review, I want to take the time to personally thank Cowon and especially Hailey who got in touch with me and arranged the shipping.

I was told that I can keep the sample for free for personal use as well as for future reference and comparisons. I was provided with the Cowon Pleunue M2 for the purpose of an honest, unbiased review.
#Cowon a2 red x software#
Equipped with a 3.7” AMOLED touchscreen, Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC capable of DSD and Hi-Res playback, high SNR, low distortion, low output impedance and good crosstalk values, 128 GB of internal memory plus a micro SD card slot, a digital optical audio output next to the headphone socket, a metal unibody frame, and of course Cowons well-known “JetEffect” EQ and DSP internal sound manipulation software (that doesn’t have to be used but offers plenty features to tailor the sound to one’s liking), it should offer a lot of fun and a really clean and precise sound which is to be tested in this review. Recently I got the great opportunity to get my hands on another of Cowon’s Plenue line, the Plenue M2 ( ). In the not too distant past, I had already bought their small Plenue D audio player that was great on the objective side, however I sold it quite quickly because the menu navigation response (scrolling through lists) was a bit slow for my liking, along with a few other subjective trifles that however didn’t stop it from being a sonically excellent audio player (in fact I had even started a private review that I never finished though due to time and work coming into my way, however it would have turned out around 4.5 out of 5 stars). These days are fortunately gone and modern Cowon audio players feature a flat frequency response without sub-bass roll-off with all headphones regardless of impedance and a clean, cap-free internal signal path.Ĭowon’s recent line of premium audio players is called “Plenue” and includes a couple of different models, differing in pricing, technical specifications and features. Right from the start, their dedication to audio and a clean signal path was strong, as even their earlier players already usually had a low output impedance and noise floor, with the only downside having been a sub-bass roll-off with connected low impedance headphones because coupling capacitors were used in the signal path.
In the past, the company has already released many audio players and was one of the first to use a touchscreen and touch control navigation for their products. Cowon ( ) is definitely no unknown company at all and doesn’t need much further introduction – founded in 1995, the South-Korean company managed to established to a major “big player” when it comes to digital audio players, with a large international network of resellers and distributors.
