You're quite welcome and comments like those, make it worthwhile to give up some of my summer sundays to write about what I feel about my observations. These thoughts come from the heart.
I have only posted positive things abut the hm-801's, thus far, and I haven't stated any negative pet peeves.
Not sure if there is a setting for this, but as soon as you turn on the top bottom to enable power to the unit, a song starts playing, whether you like, it or not.
Also, I find the 5 buttons confusing and less effective then they should be. Like my wife says, they should have arranged the buttons with different assignments (one is just for saving to favorites, which then becomes an important input for gathering the memory saves ands organizations), which now acts as an important feature further down the hierarchy chain. Perhaps, if the button layout was done with a little more finesse, then, in the words of the outsider little lady, perhaps, they could have made the screen a little bigger. And you what, it's not usually the case, but she is right.
The HM-801 is a high quality unit that will pave the way for other copycat units to follow, and Fang has broken some serious ground here, and anyone who holds and plays with this unit, will be able to tell, that the
last 3 years of his life has gone into making this, the best Dap/DAC/removable amp that he possibly could, and I take off all of my hats to him, and I am honored to be on the cutting edge of this life changing product, as we know it,
But there will still always be growing pains, and when these are worked out, we will have a state of the art portable music player that even Stereophile won't fully understand for a while, but it is going to change the way that we audiophiles listen to music for the next couple of years, and we owe that all to a man that has spent every waking (and non-waking moment) trying to perfect.
Those of you who get in in the ground floor of this project, will be movers and shakers and will have something to tell their grandchildren about!
For the money, introductory price or not, it is truly a bargain one of our American or European makers would have put this in the $1000+ range (and it would still be worth it).
Let's see where this takes us and what new inventions will come from it.
