Cowon Plenue R Silver

High resolution audio player from Cowon. The PLENUE R is an all-round player with versatility that excels in a variety of areas, featuring super-HD sound, aptX Bluetooth codec support, 2.5 mm balanced output, 17 hours of continuous playback, and LEDs that change depending on the sound source. Feel the difference in perfectly-reproduced HD with the PLENUE R, the next evolution in the PLENUE line.

The PLENUE R is equipped with the PCM5242 digital-to-analog converter (DAC), designed for high-end hi-fi audio systems, to deliver superb quality sound. It features Texas Instruments' latest hyper-advanced current-segment architecture and superior DirectPath conversion performance to faithfully reproduce not only 24bit, 192 kHz PCM sources, but high-definition resolution DSD and DXD sources as well.

One requirement for achieving perfect sound is a high-performance amplifier that is optimally compatible with high-end receivers. Texas Instruments' high-performance SoundPlus amplifier delivers high voltage while maintaining the highest level of linearity—a significant step up in audio technologies from existing versions of amplifiers. The amplifier generates powerful performance capable of driving high-end headphones with high impedance without the need for a separate headphone amplifier. Now, sophisticated and precise sound tuning makes it possible to clearly express any frequency range in combination with a variety of receivers.

Balanced output effectively blocks noise generated when signals are transmitted by adding 'out of phase' signals to unbalanced output signals. Since it transmits two types of signals simultaneously, the PLENUE R strengthens the output signal for clearer and crisper reproduction of original sound. The PLENUE R uses balanced output to reproduce crisp original sounds.

The PLENUE R supports aptX, a high-quality audio codec that provides higher compression efficiency and superior sound quality compared to conventional SBC codec Bluetooth transmission. You can now enjoy PLENUE R through any earphones, headphones, or speakers that support Bluetooth, and the application of JetEffect 7's powerful acoustic field via Bluetooth output means you can savor rich sound quality with greater variety.

The PLENUE R's high-definition sound is realized through 123 dB of SNR, 0.001% of THD+N, and -134 dB of crosstalk, essential figures that represent the performance of acoustic equipment.

The robustly-designed solid body, precision-machined from high-strength aluminum, and exquisitely-placed negative space surrounding the LED column capture the beauty in contrast between structure and space.
