Cowon Jetaudio [extra Quality] -

Decent for basic needs, but not on par with MPC-HC or VLC. It lacks advanced GPU acceleration and modern codec support (e.g., H.265/HEVC hardware decoding).

The BEE and Wide filters genuinely improve lower-end headphones or speakers without excessive distortion. The parametric EQ is more precise than typical graphic EQs. However, overuse of the DSP can create a “processed” sound that purists may dislike. cowon jetaudio
