COWON PLENUE D2 PORTABLE DAB AT BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW 2019
This year, Cowon released the anticipated second iteration of their acclaimed DAP, the Cowon Plenue D2.
The Plenue D is a multiple award-winning and critically acclaimed DAP, and the PD2 will be no different in this respect.
The Cowon PD2 uses dual CS43131 DACs, a next-generation premium DAC with a high-resolution headphone amplifier, to achieve perfect HD sound with minimal noise.
With the high-quality 2.5mm balanced output, DSD128 is native, allowing you to hear your music as clear as possible. With a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 130dB, a harmonic distortion factor (THD + N) of 0.0004% and a balanced output of 4.0Vrms and five digital filters provided, you can enjoy sound tuning that exceeds the hearing limit even with the same original sound. JetEffect 5, a unique sound field technology from Cowon, and BBE + is also included to provide the optimum music environment to satisfy various customer's preferences.
The PD2's combination of a low-power circuit and low battery consumption with a high-performance battery allows the PD2 to play continuously for 45 hours of MP3 standard and 30 hours of high-quality standard content. It comes with 64GB of onboard memory and supports micros SD cards up to 128GB.
Volume control is subdivided by 0.5 dB per step, enabling precise volume control. The 'Accelerate and Increase' function, which is used by pressing and holding the button, allows the listener to enjoy the HD sound at the optimum level, making the volume width of the 140 steps easily and quickly.
JetEffect 5 and BBE+
JetEffect 5 and BBE+ combine to correct sound distortions and phase caused by either the physical limitations of a receiver or the listening environment and reproduce sound closest to the original studio recording. Additionally, you can create your optimal sound according to their personal preferences via the use of BBE+ and EQ filters.
Bristol Show attendees will get an exclusive first look at this exciting new DAP through Advanced MP3 Players in Room 310.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
