HiFiMAN HM-801 Portable Player / DAC Review: Part One of Two - Page 34

No more pre-orders for the US at all? For how long?

I'm assuming pre-order pricing is done for good...if you want one, you'll have to pay retail.

Its only for a few weeks, have a look here

when will pre-order for batch 3 start? i think i'll jump in.

How are people carrying Hifimans when walking, sitting on the train ...?

The only upside of iPods is that there are a lot of options for packing them. I use a DLO hipcase, with my XXS amp velco'ed to the flap for instance

According to Fang there are more UK chips coming and should be a batch 3 then.

Only few lucky people have got the 801 already. You need to wait some time for the feedback. If everything is alright, most of the batch 1 shipment will begin in the next week.

when does batch 2 ship out?

Even the 1st batch hasn't been fully shipped out yet!

word.

Guys, what is the latest on production numbers for the HiFiMan ? Surely some of the less-than-happy campers in this thread who actually ordered one have it by now ? I accept that you wont find them on the shelves at K-Mart, but the batches really need to be larger, IMO.

Who can leak some informations when the review of part 2 will be released?

Batch #2 should be completely shipped out (along with batch #1) by mid Jan.

As for when this review will be finished, never. Jube has obviously given up on it and/or forgotten about it.

Thanks bojamjams.

So should I expect an email from the merchant or just expect the shipment to be dropped at my door any day now?
