Cowon iAudio 7 (fw 1.17) fails on Vorbis

can you confirm that the playback quality has really improved with this update?


Yes, the noise is gone.I have been happily using ver. 1.18 with Vorbis files since it came out.  Reencoding my collection to my portable Vorbis quality (-q 4) was a pain, but well worth it.


thanks! now there's no barrier to buy an i7

There is no barrier now. Although, I still wish that the iAudio 7 would support tag based Replaygain (right now I have to use wavegain) and gapless playback. Hopefully these will be addressed with a future firmware update.

hmm i don't use replaygain and gapless is unnecessary coz i rip my albums (mixes) into one single file, but good to know about these, thanks

Firmware 1.18

Code: [Select]
- Improved playback sound quality of OGG files.

This sounds like good news! EDIT: Ah, has already been mentioned here. Yeah, ogg vorbis files are now played back fine!

my iaudio arrived today with 1.16 firmware. a jean michel jarre cover was the only lossless file at hand, i encoded it with aotuv 5.7, and listened. i didn't realize the regular noise was not part of the track... then i updated to 1.18, and wow, the noise is gone.

very cool indeed

Hi,

yupp, it's gone. My IAudio7 had to be repaired. And since they were at it they installed the new 1.18 firmware. Man was I happy^^    All OGGs now with clean sound. Thanks Cowon for the new firmware. Little late though

A little late, huh.. You could have installed this update almost half a year ago by yourself. It is really not a complicated task.
Not really a Signature.

I think it depends on how much do you care if something crucial (like OGG playback quality for some people) is updated in a device you use ie. on a daily basis.
