When comes to sq nothing I have ever heard is better than hm-801 so far. cowon cant sound as good as hm801, not even close imo.

hifiman players have too many UI issues to call it a great player. the uI and LCD look like its from 1995.

It's not a player that places a priority on a complex UI. The UI is simple and straight to the point. Sound quality is the HM-801's main strength and I feel that it beats out any other portable player on the market today in this category.
You seem happy enough lugging a brick around with you while on your travels.
Quite how a HM-801 qualifies as a portable player is a mystery to me, but each to there own.
My Ipods have always sounded warmer than my Cowon S9/J3 when flat. It is very slight though. Who uses a Cowon flat though?
I am using flat in J3, never a big fan of eq. After spending ton of times for setting up eq, I still could not find any setting would reproduce a natural sound I pursue for, especially after turning on BEE. For me, non- eq is the best.
Seriously, sansa clips+ is quite underrated here. J3 is just slighter better than clips+( both non eq, WAV format only)
Besides, in terms of vocal alone, SFLO2 really shines. If you factor in any player needs amp to drive, IMOD is still king of portable player
My rating of portable player i owned, IMOD> KenwoodB9>SFLO2> Sony M10>J3 >Clips+> hm 601 (over warm + treble roll off hurt too much, technically it is better than clip+ ) >SonyX series
