Recently we heard that the Cowon (iAudio) D1 will not be produced anymore, but fans should be pleasantly encouraged by the company’s announcement this morning. The new Cowon D2 comes with a 2.5â€? QVGA touch screen, all new touchscreen interface and a SD slot (SDHC not supported), all that kept in a fairly small package (56x78x17mm 95g). Music files supported are MP3, WMA (WM DRM10 too), OGG, FLAC and WAV. Video files supported are WMV up to 768kbps as well... Continue reading

Just when we think the digital audio player (DAP) market is saturated, Victor updated their Alneo C-series audio players. They added in the K2 Technology which is supposed to extrapolate digital data to increase sound quality lost during compression. What’s unusual is that they can record sounds with 2 channels (stereo) in PCM and WMA formats; however we really doubt the difference as the 2 microphones are placed so closely together. On top of stereo recording, these DAPs also support... Continue reading

Nu has been selling their waterproof mp3 player NU Doplphin in Taiwan for a while, but it has only been put in the spotlight when it gets exported to Australia.

The built in speakers were tad soft in volume, but those on the cradle were great. They called... Continue reading

The upcoming iRiver S7 has fans of the company’s digital audio players eagerly awaiting its release. The leaking of a spec sheet a few weeks back only added fuel to the fire. Recently released pictures of the upcoming player have some people a bit confused, however. The pictures show a player nearly the exact size and shape of an Altoids tin, with a few buttons on the side and a headphone jack.  What’s really going on here is that the... Continue reading

Samsung’s new YP-K3 MP3 player is dead sexy. Sleek lines, few buttons, and a sharp-looking display push this little wonder high up the ranks of sexy DAPs. The YP-K5′s little brother, without the built-in speaker touted by its older sibling, the YP-K3 is set to debut at CES 2007. The YP-K3 boasts a 1.8-inch screen, and Samsung claims it’s their thinnest player yet.  No word on pricing, capacity, or availability yet, but this is definitely a DAP to watch out... Continue reading
