I love my Sony Z series because it has that beautifully warm touch. Warm and well presented bass, with tamed highs and lush mids. The way I like my music presented. The sansa is more transparent and less lush and warm, but i still like it. If my HiFiMan can provide a nice slot in between, then I'll be a very happy man with no need for a DAP upgrade.

If it's HM-601, I found it rather average unfortunately. It leans warm bassy with rolled off treble, detailing levels aren't much better than an iPod 5.5 classic or iPod video. With 6-8 hour run times mine was never off the charger, like a slave I gave up on it rather quickly. It performs better from line out. Personally I found the Colorfly C3 quite a bit better.

 Are you getting the 601 LE?  I believe the LE model uses the same amp chip as the 602.

There's some links here I remember seeing regarding HM-601, showing it's flaws.

This one here from ABI: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62111

And if the HO output impedance is anything like HM-602, (which is most likely) that's 11.4ohms which is terrible for low impedance IEM's, especially those like the 10ohm Dunu DN-1000.

Anyway, carry on with your discovery thread, sorry for intruding.

the colorfly is too basic. No album covers or anything else that I like. It might not be important to sound, but I could go with quite a few good sounding DAP's that have pretty much no tag recognition. I'm someone who likes tags, which is why I enjoy my Sony and my Sansa. Warm is how I like it too. The X3 was so far from warm, with such weak bass response, that I just couldn't dig it. But thanks for the heads up. If the ^01 turns out to be cruddy, I'll sell it and move on to something else. The battery life worries me some, but then again the battery life in the sansa isn't that great either.

it's the 601 slim. Not sure if that's anything like the LE?

Oh, so that's why you didn't like the Pistons when you listened to them through your X3. You a basshead, meng?

not exactly that. The X3 doesn't present bass in a well rounded way. It lacks weight and sub bass extension. It presents bass in a very lazy, almost dry way. You listen to the Piston with the Sansa Fuze or Sony, and you can feel the sub bass and mid bass, and get that feeling of weight and speed. The X3 presents it more linear. More like bass from a HiFiMan RE product...if you follow?

Kinda' disappointing that these piston don't even best the ATH CKN70s tbh. If true that is....

 

I prefer thew Piston's over the CKN70's
