A lot of us have been waiting for this unit for a long time. It is the first unt that offers a customer removable amp, so that the customer can cater the DAP to his/her own preference, while encompassing a high quality DAC and transport, all in one while handling Lossless files.
I've known Fang for 4 years now, and I knew that I met a man in my life who holds the highest possible ethics, incredible vision, and someone who wants all of his customers to have the best possible product for the best attainable price. He has always practiced what he preached, and if the world had more men like Fang, this world would be a better place to live.
When Fang approached me with his visionary idea at the March NYC Spring meet, I had no idea what the hell he was talking about, but I knew that, based on all of his other brainstorms, this was going to be a winner and I gave him my hard earned money, sight unseen, for something that I felt would be an earth shattering, monumental, hobby changing idea, that would bring something new to our wonderful hobby that brings me so much joy, each and every day.
Fang had insight and vision that would eventually take all of the things that we need and love, and put it in on modest-size box that would not get confiscated at airports.
His idea seeked the ability to take a high quality amp, along with a transport that extracted 0's and 1's to the best of their ability to extract digital music, convert it into an analog waveform, amplify it and out put it into the can of our choice. He offered other amp makers to get in on the ground floor of this project, but it seems, that our most trusted amp builders at the the site we know as the web-site know as Head-fi, threw caution to the wind, and no one has stepped up to the plate yet. For now Fang is using his tried and tested Mini-Box E amp as the starting point.
I have a feeling that when these start selling like hotcakes, our most beloved amp builders, will be fighting to get in line to be proud enough to have their amp associated with the HiFiMan.
Without getting too sappy, I can say without any hesitation, that the HiFiMan, has a sound output, when used uncompressed files, sounds leagues above my imod/any amp combo, and my iRiver H-120/D-10 combo, and my iRiver H140,Headroom microDAC combos. When we get people like Chesky and Kimber to put together 32 Gbit cards with their music on it this HiFiMan will be the end all what we know know as hi-end audio.
More to follow.
