Last night my HM-601 gave out a very high pitched sound on extremely high volume during playback when the battery indicator went down to one bar. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is this with rockbox or stock firmware? Could be a glitch. If it persists contact Hifiman for warranty support.

I will say the 601 had a very nice sound but was not as powerful as the Cowon D2. I had the 601 at full blast which I cannot do on the D2.

Were you using the Gain settings? I have a really hard time believing you on this one lol. With my FX700 I use it under volume 2 and its super loud as is.

I used the gain settings and I used this player for 6 days then used the 801 which was only a little better. So I am going for the Dx100 which you seem interested in. I wished the 601 was strong enough because I dont want to carry 2 stereo equipment with me when I walk. The 601 did sound good but not much better then the Cowon D2. if it did I would have been happy cause I have money burning my pockets.

You might have fresh ears. I am 45 and been to over 220 live concerts, clubbing since 1988 and had a car stereo system for over 20 yrs with 10,0000 and now 5,000 watts.

I'm guessing you are using high impedance phones then? That's the only thing I could think of, even then the 601 is pretty powerful. You driving HE6 with them lol :)

 I used Westone 3, Atrios, and JH 13 pros with the 601. I used Westone 3 and Atrios with the 801.

The Cowon D2 has 74mW at 16ohm and the iBasso Dx100 has more than 1000mW at 16ohm which is more then iBasso portable P4 amp. So what does the 601 and 801 have?

Distortion: 0.09%
S/N: 92 DB
Stereo crosstalk：74 DB (Lineout)
Headphone Amplifier
Output level: 1.1v at 32 Ohm; 2.2v at 150 Ohm
Max Output: 30mw at 32 Ohm; 26mw at 150 Ohm
Size: 62mm*103mm*26.5mm or 2.4 * 4.05 * 1.04 Inch

Even with the IE80 the highest I could pump the volume up was around between 3 and 4 and that is still pushing it for me. Its not always about how loud the source is but how well it can drive your cans/IEMs. Its better to drive them and have good imaging, separation and dynamics while listening at a lower volume. High volumes is what kills your ears.
