Cowon Plenue 2

I bought the Cowon Plenue 2 secondhand and what an amazing sounding DAP this is. Iāve owned a few Cowon DAPs in the past such as the Cowon D2 and D3 and the classic Cowon iAudio X5 but the Plenue 2 is the best sounding Cowon DAP IMO. Paired with my Beyerdynamics T5p headphones, the sound quality is very rich with good soundstage, good bass, mids and highs and the sound is very enjoyable. I bought it secondhand unboxed for around Ā£550 but even though it came without its box and cables it was worth its price.

Did you manage to remove the volume cap from those instructions.. The P2 is one of my all time favourites. It even looks fantastic. Some incredible sound can be had from Jeteffects. Check out the 4.4mm mod I did npaudio.boards.net/thread/97/plenue-2-mods

Check out the 4.4mm mod I did npaudio.boards.net/thread/97/plenue-2-modsYes, I managed to remove the volume cap from the instructions you sent me and it works a treat. Now I can listen to music at proper volume. I like the mod you did on the link you provided. Nice one!

Excellent, it makes a big difference without the Euro cap.
You can actually apply and make custom themes for the Plenues, it would be great to get some of those listed here and make our own š

Is it quiet easy to do? I am also wondering where I can get the leather case for my Plenue 2. Unfortunately, my Plenue 2 didnāt come in itās box when I bought it at CEX for Ā£550 so I didnāt get the leather case.

Thanks for the links. Iāll take a look. Unfortunately, with CEX if I take the Plenue 2 back they will only give me vouchers to the sum of Ā£550 in return. They will only refund me if the DAP is faulty. According to the CEX website B grade items should come with accessories even if no box is included. My Plenue 2 was B grade so I will go back and speak to the manager at CEX. When I bought the Plenue they told me there was no box or accessories.

I looked in your shop and I am gutted that I didnāt see that you have a brand new Plenue 2 boxed with all the accessories before buying from CEX. Whatās worse is that you are selling it for the same price I was for a secondhand Plenue 2 at CEX without the box case and accessories. How long have you been selling the Plenue 2 for that price? I cannot get a cash refund because CEX only refund in cash or back to my bank account if there is a fault with the DAP. The only refund I will get are CEX vouchers to the sum of Ā£550.

I've not used CEX before so I don't know the rules they have. I know my sons have had both good and bad experience s there You could delete the file I showed you again, set it back to european and show them the volume doesn't work after 100 š The Cowons have been listed on and off for a while.

So the Plenue 2 has been selling for Ā£549.99 for a while now. Itās just a shame I didnāt know of your shop before buying from CEX. Regarding CEX thatās a great idea. I suppose I could put the EU cap back on and say the volume doesnāt get louder after 100 and see if they fall for it and get a refund. Worth a try.

I went back to CEX but they confirmed with me that no box or accessories were included with the Plenue 2. They searched the shop but there was nothing. I then asked if I could get a refund because I seen the same DAP online boxed with all the accessories for the same price. They told me they can only refund me with vouchers because the unit is not faulty. I told them about the volume problem but they told me itās probably the EU cap. I was hoping to get a full refund and buy from your shop but I guess thatās out of the question now. I will just have to enjoy my Plenue 2 regardless.

At least you gave it a go, I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of your wonderful P2.

At least you gave it a go, I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of your wonderful P2. Oh not at all. Iām really loving the sound quality on the P2. Itās up there with the top of the range Sony and Astell and Kerns DAPs. If I get a bit of money I may buy a second one and buy from your shop. Itās just a shame I didnāt know about your shop before buying from CEX considering itās the same price but with box.

Do you know how to create playlists on the P2? I can see favourites but no option to add tracks to a playlist.
