Anyone know about HIFI-812  Music Player ?
 
I already have HM-602. So, I would like to know the SQ between HIFI-812 vs HM-602. Anyone help me to compare?
 
Thanks

Sorry wrong model .. the correct model is iHIFI-812.

[size=medium]Happily owning a well burnt in QA350 MK 1 for a year;[/size]
[size=medium]I took the plunge purchasing a ihifi 812 one month ago.  [/size]
[size=medium]So far I have listened to it for one day due to ihifi 812 complete systems failure.[/size]
[size=medium]I took the chance to see if I could fix it. The battery wires are connected onto what looks like a fat mobile phone battery and the soldering was shoddy.[/size]
[size=medium]The menu is Japanese or Chinese so a little difficult to understand, but persistent as I am, not impossible.[/size]
[size=medium]Bearing in mind a very short playing time and no burn in, the graphic equaliser section needs work.  Standard unaltered sound is comparable with the QA350, yet appears a little dull in some areas.  Forget the other settings, makes everything sound weird![/size]
[size=medium]Listening to Faithless in WAV format, Bass I tight and not too forced, Mid’s pleasant enough and the Highs not as bright as the QA350 once was.[/size]
[size=medium]Supporting a standard tree structure, the song menu is easy to understand although button action could have been given more thought.  Right button moves down tree structure and bottom button takes you one level back.[/size]
[size=medium]The top facia by the volume knob is crowded and a 3.5mm jack extension piece has been included to connect large 3.5mm jacks to the line out.[/size]
[size=medium]The ihifi 812 screen is clear enough for text being able to display Song information, genre etc or a graphics equaliser.   I would like to see a simpler screen with none of the extra frills such as the spinning cd graphic.[/size]
[size=medium]The Micro SD card is easy to install and remove.[/size]
[size=medium]It’s too early to say if this is a good music player but I am willing to continue and see if it has longevity.[/size]

Hi!
 
And now, what do you think about it? Is it stable?

Hi, I've posted this question in another thread- is this player supposed to play 24 Bit audio? Mine only seems to play 16 bit files.
 

Hi.
I'm happy owner of ihifi812 v2.
What I want to say.....it is not so stable how I hoped, and it has few shortcomings (not a good battery, not so small size, and actually  it's heavy). I think for 250 $ it is much better than ipod or my laptop (inspiron 1525) if you give me any example of a player (200-300$) I bet ihifi is better. I use it every day with my favorite fostex T50RP. I found it it is a good union. If  you are looking for player for 200-300$ with good quality sound I think it is very good chose. I know what I'm saying. I've been  making my decision about choosing right player and headphones for two years.  
I tryed to find unboxing ihifi or any video about it but couldn't find anything. So I made it (after time it gonna be in English but now sorry guys it is only in Russian lang, ). I hope it helps to someone to make a decision.

I also have the IHIFI812V2 as well, and I'm very pleased with its sound, despite the few shortcomings mentioned above. I use every day as well with my Senheiser Amperiors. I'm thinking about purchasing the IHIFI960 when it's released.
