![]() ![]() Want to hear a track up to 50 per cent slower or at 1.5 times its original speed? The PD3 can oblige here too. There are 48 of these JetEffects in total, including 44 named presets, four user presets you can create with a five-band equaliser and nine special ‘reverb’ modes. Go to the JetEffects tab in Settings and you can stream your music with effects such as ‘X-Bass’, or ever-more creative profiles such as ‘Feel the wind’ or ‘Reverb cathedral’, according to your room or tastes. If you’re going away for the weekend and want a tiny sound system for your room that is both ultra-portable and leaves your phone free for actual calls, this is a top solution. Both connect – and automatically re-pair – with ease. We go into the PD3’s Settings menu, hit the Bluetooth tab and select our Earfun Air Pro wireless headphones, and later our Tribit Audio Stormbox Micro Bluetooth speaker, to pair. So why should you upgrade to the PD3? If the new volume wheel doesn’t tempt you, Bluetooth 3.0 (with support for SBC and aptX codecs) might. Again, there’s balanced 2.5mm and unbalanced 3.5mm headphone jacks. The PD3 boasts DSD128 file compatibility too – and that support is native, so DSD files aren’t converted to PCM during playback. There is support for 24-bit/192kHz WAV, FLAC, ALAC and AIFF files and 64GB of built-in storage, which is expandable to 192GB with the addition of a 128GB microSD card. The PD3 boasts a battery life of up to 45 hours if you’re playing MP3 files, or a solid 30 hours when listening to hi-res files at 'normal' volume. ![]() Once you get used to hopping through the settings and back to your music, the Plenue D3 is a joy to use. Considering the challenging amount of screen real estate it has to work with, that’s no mean feat. The PD3 responds well, displays album artwork and offers easy navigation and grouping of your music. If you think one interface looks a little dated, you can choose between three different ‘skins’ and also alter the text font. The touchscreen is the same 2.8in wide-angle LCD (240 x 230) display as on the previous model. The power button has relocated to the top right side of the player and, because there’s no need for volume buttons here anymore, the three other little circular controls for play/pause, skip forward and skip back are now even easier to locate and use in your pocket. Here, it periodically flashes blue when playing, or glows red when charging or loading music, but you can turn it off in the settings menu if you prefer. As with the A&K Kann Alpha, a recessed light also shines out from beneath the dial. This glorious rotary wheel seems like an homage to Astell & Kern and feels just as premium as its pricier competition. ![]() ![]() The extra depth is down to a cracking new volume dial on the top right of the player, where the power button used to sit. The Plenue D3 is a few millimetres longer and thicker than the original Plenue D, but unless you place the two side by side it is almost impossible to tell.
