Cowon Plenue P1 Hi-Fi HD Sound 128GB MP3 Player, 3.7" AMOLED Touch Display, 192kHz/24bit Audio Codecs, Gold

"Plenue 1" Gold MP3 Player, perfectly playing high resolution HD Sound of original source, which was created through 2 years of intensive research and development by COWON, who has accumulated unique sound technology for 20 years. This High- Fidelity audio device implemented luxurious DAC (digital to analog converter), Burr-Brown's PCM1792A, will play the perfect sound of the 24bit/192kHz high resolution master sound source recorded in studio and to provide the optimum listening environment by supporting the DSD 128 and DXD format.

The Best Choice For HD Sound
The Plenue 1 is proud to introduce the best performance figures for listening to HD Sound. It has the highest performance figures even among the first-tier devices in the category. Specifications such as SNR (120dB), THD+N (0.0006%), Crosstalk (-134dB) are the most important criteria in acoustic devices. Also, the device has outstanding output power (2Vrms) to support high impedance Hi-Fi headphones without separate head-phones amplifiers. By adapting a high precision TCxO and exceptional Phase Jitter of 1.0ps, Plenue 1 can perform flawlessly under any circumstances.

Sound beyond the Limits of Time and Space with JetEffect 7
Even with an original sound, speakers and headphones tend to physically delay the high frequency range as compared to the low frequency range. JetEffect 7 & BBE+ corrects and compensates the distortion to present the original. JetEffect 7 upgraded from JetEffect 5 gives a more powerful performance. It provides a 10 band equalizer and EQ filter, which allows users to adjust detailed acoustic frequency bands depending on their tastes.

Harmonized Design of Digital and Analogue - Strengthened Anodized Full Metal Unibody
Plenue 1 pursues a minimalist design. Its design was inspired by a concept of "High-End Audio Product with Robustness and Elegance". High-strength aluminum block was processed through CNC Machining and Diamond Cutting procedure to complete the Full Metal Unibody and the case surface was finished with a Hard Anodized method to prevent scratches. The power button reminds you of an analogue button of old audio devices and the blue LED at the bottom show a blend of the old and the new.

Supports up to 256GB memory
Since high-quality sound files recorded in the studio are not compressed to preserve all the information, the High-Fidelity audio device requires a large amount of storage space. The Plenue 1 comes with the 128GB high-speed internal memory, which is large enough to facilitate high-quality audio files. In addition, the storage capacity of the device can be extended up to 256GB by adding a 128GB microSD card into the card slot.

True Original HD Sound
24bit/192kHz source recorded in studio provides the best sound; it has no signal loss and has outstanding resolution. Enjoy a true HD Sound using "Plenue 1" that plays artist and engineer's intended sound without missing a single detail. 24bit/192kHz sound source, recorded in superlative specification condition, is the natural audio source that contains the every purpose of the artist and engineer. It expresses active live vocal sounds in detail and plays each instrument very precisely; therefore natural source describes every detail of the HD sound to reproduce that originality.

A Perfect Original HD Sound
To insert 24bit sound source recorded in studio to compact disc, 16bit/44.1kHz down sampling compression method is used, resulting in distortion of the original sound. To compensate this distortion, normally forcing the loudness of the sound source technique is used, occurring Clipping and reducing Dynamic Range, In converting to MP3 format (128-320kbps), additional compression and distortion occurs as well, those effects lead to lower resolution in sound quality. With this reason, CD and MP3 cannot reproduce the original sound as intended in the studio, but provide distorted sound to the user.

Exceptional Burr-Brown PCM1792A Audio DAC
"Plenue 1" equipped Burr-Brown's DAC PCM1792A. PCM1792A that achieved the world class performance in digital to analogue conversion and it is being used in many leading premium High-Fidelity audio systems. "Plenue 1" is able to play 24bit/192kHz PCM format as well as DXD (35.8/348kHz) and DSD128(5.64MHz) using PCM1792A DAC, "Plenue 1" is a must-have item if you want to experience a premium sound. Enjoy the best sound with "Plenue 1" whenever and wherever.

Audio Performance of Plenue 1 - Using World's best Audio Measuring Equipment
"Plenue 1" states measurement of all the audio specification such as SNR, THD+N, Crosstalk, etc, using Audio Precision's SYS-2722 (Specialized in Hi-Fi audio measurement) standard. SYS-2722 is the device that provides precise and accurate audio measurement of Hi-Fi audio devices. It is enjoying the world's most powerful public trust in the audio engineering field used to authenticate Dolby, DTS, etc, "Plenue 1" provides accurate and trustable data measurements through repetitive performance tests, by using the SYS-2722.

World's Renown Professional Sound Control, JetEffect 7
JetEffect 7 and BBE+ provides the best sophisticated sound for the HD Sound through the correction and compensation control. 10 bands EQ Filter and BBE+, Reverb, Chorus, etc. can be controlled in 4 different user's presets and 50 different references presets. These presets allow a small tone control to suit the preferences of users and correspond to various listening environments. By using BBE+ that contains phase correction function, users can listen to the dense and vivid sound that is close to the original sound. Whatever the environment are, whatever the receivers are, whatever the genre is JetEffect 7 provides the best High-Fidelity sound.

The Best Choice for Original Live Sound Reproduction, BBE+
Sound includes a unique high frequency harmonics and this unique harmonics pattern helps users to distinguish the each instrument. This high frequency harmonics reach Cowon ears earlier than the normal frequency in live sound. Human brain recognizes earlier signal as more important signal. Therefore high frequency harmonics is vital component in music.

Implemented superior analogue components and outstanding output power & optical terminal
