HM-601 Music Players
“ Hifiman HM-601 + RE-272 Story and scope After the Danish Head-fi meet, nc8000 (the father of our Danish Head-fi society) said Fang from Head-direct had given him a HM-601 + RE-272 to pass on to another head-fi’er who would write a review of the HM-601 together with the enclosed in-ear headphones, the RE-272. I volunteered because I thought it would be fun to...” --rasmushorn
Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation) NEWEST MODEL
“ If you can't stand some DAP without a decent UI, Ipod Classic will the best choice for you. Powered by Itunes, Classic might be an unmatched DAP and also the most popular one. However, some fatal cons make it (without amps) stay out of Hifi area For a single DAP 5 stars, For a hifi DAP only 3 stars So average scores will be 4 ” --Alias Gu
Apple iPod classic 80 GB Black (6th Generation) OLD MODEL
“ I have the 160GB model (the new one). These are a great purchase if you have lot of high quality music that takes lot of space. The User interface is very easy to understand, maybe a little slow because it's hard drive based. The sound is not as good as the old iPod (5G), the new one has less bass, and doesn't sound as warn as the older model. A portable amp fixed it for me. Overall I...” --yliu

HiFiMAN 602
“ I am going to take a shot at posting my impressions of the 602. It's been a long time since I've posted a review or impressions of any kind on HF. I took me a long time to realize that reading them was of little value to me in terms of my listening experience. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading them and yes, looking at the pics but it's more for a general...” --tyrion

Cowon S9 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Touchscreen (Titanium Black)
“ If you are in search for quality sound, reverb and loves flac, then here you go. The UI is decent and nice, I dont know why people give negative comments, the thing is that it takes two to three weeks to get going with the interface. The audio enhancements have limitless enhancements, if you dont adjust it properly you may have scrambled audio. With proper adjustment of the several...” --noblemff
Cowon Z2-32BL 3.7-Inch AMOLED 800 x 480 Capacitive Touchscreen MP3 Player
“So I got this as a Bday present that I asked for. I've been using it for about 4 months now, and figured I should write this. The player sounds very good, BUT, if you don't use the EQ, it doesn't sound so great TBH. The EQ completely fixes the issue. The charging mechanism where you need to deal with the little hatch is fairly annoying, and I'm worried the hatch will fall off. But it does use...” --DutchGFX
