D2: Video
built 236 days ago
The D2 is Cowon's first ultra portable video player and their first foray into the wondrous world of touch screens. Although similar in appearance to the iriver clix, the D2 sports some significant differences under the hood: things usually not found in this class of players like TV output, support for lossless audio codecs, and an SD/SDHC card slot for unlimited expansion.

The iAudio D2 does not compromise quality and features for its compact size. Cowon provides the latest innovations in digital multimedia technology to provide incredible video and audio quality. The D2 supports QVGA 320x240, 30fps video files and audio files including the high quality lossless codecs such as FLAC and OGG, along with the usual MP3, WMA and WAV. The D2 ... provides a TV output for seamless transfer of your wiewing onto the comfort of your living room TV.

The HD-D2's connectivity is reasonably complete, although it's missing some step-ups found on the HD-XA2. For video, there's an HDMI output that is capable of outputting high-definition video in resolution up to 1080i. There's ... a component video output, along with a standard AV with S-Video output. For audio, the HDMI output is capable of transmitting multichannel high-resolution audio. There's also an optical digital-audio output that can handle standard Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, as well as a standard analog stereo output. Rounding out the rest of the connectivity is an Ethernet jack, which can conveniently be used to upgrade the firmware on the HD-D2.

The improvement the D2 brings to 480i DVD picture quality is astounding — almost as remarkable as the clarity it brings to HD 1080i material. While on lower-resolution displays the improvements are dramatic, on the new-generation of 1080p displays picture quality is simply astonishing. And yes, in the hands of the D2 even Component Video material looks better!

Back to the player - so some of the amazing stuff the D2 can do is the ability to play videos and many different audio formats, SDHC compatibility, its battery life and of course the touch screen. The D2 has quickly become Cowon’s most discussed player on the iAudiophile forums. Frequent firmware updates have ... expanded the players capabilities way beyond those it possessed at its launch.
