Me too

I think the next question would be if those who got the U version would be able to send theirs back for a UK upgrade if Nankai is able to secure more of the UK chips later.

I believe the next question would be if those with U version can have an upgrade before shipping... providing Nankai will be able to secure more of the UK chips

what's the difference between U-K and U chips?

Hi, Nankai
I live in China. Can I use RMB to pay? Perhaps via Alipay or something like that?
There are many people interested HiFiMan in China. Some friends I know in www.erji.net are willing to buy this product. Is that possible to provide a convenient sales channel for them?

Are the HM-801's serial numbered in any way on the unit? If so, perhaps it could be an added part to the serial number.

Or it could be a metallic foil decal (they are quite a bit stronger than regular stickers.)

But at the very least, the easiest way (to avoid any additional delay) would be to have the box labeled with a sticker or other mark that would show which ones are Limited Preorder and Ones with PCM1704UK chips.

I'm thinking most people wouldn't want a sticker or "ink" on their HM-801's, but having it specially marked on the box would be OK.

Agree. And to avoid any additional delay is very important.

I would also be very interested in knowing which da-chip I was utilizing.. .. Although I would probably never have the luxury of a reference.

I think at the very least, a different mark or label on the box would suffice.

I would prefer that over a cheap sticker or hand written or hand engraved mark on the player itself.

Silly questions...

1. Is the module easily accessible/viewable to see the IC in question?
2. Does the chip have the "UK" designation printed on top?

Here's hoping I'm in the first 60-70 as well, but as I ordered in early August I think I'll be pushing my luck!!!

However, I do have a question regarding the ordering Nankai. I didn't see an option for specifying the headamp module that you want. And forgot to add a note when I paid using paypal. I am definitely after the one that will run my pk1's and my Beyer DT990s - so is that the high-gain option????

Can you take this post as acceptiing that option for me, or should I send you a PM?

Cheers

PS Do you actually get a choice or am I mistaken? Did anyone else specify at their order time and I somehow missed a step?

I might be wrong, but I think there's no such option as different modules.... yet.

I thought I read somewhere there there were different swappable amp modules for IEMs vs Full-sized cans.. Could be wrong though..

Yeah and what's the difference between UK and U?

That's the plan and provided that modules will be reasonably priced, I like that plan very much! The same with the battery. Hopefully we'll be able to buy spare one and eventually later the one with higher capacity... That's the beauty of modular system.

CORRECTION: I've just read in the post linked below, that there are indeed 2 different amp modules. It's not clear if they will be available at the moment, though.

I'm interested in the difference between the K and non-K version of the DAC

you can still buy the K version in the UK
