HIFIMAN players vs iPhone 4 : Can't tell any differences !
Yuriv, doest it mean that with my headphone it make no sense to go with HIFIMAN ? If yes, I'm disappointing because I expected a really SQ gap. My D5000 is pretty new and I'm pleased with it, don't imagine for now to go to IEM.- Chris13

Hello all Yesterday I tried extensively the HM-601 and HM-801 vs my current iPhone 4. Headphone : Denon D5000 iPhone 4 : 320k mp3 HIFIMAN : FLAC The songs were ripped from the same CD source. Frankly, I can hardly tell any differences. HM-601 vs iPhone 4 : same SQ, when switching from...- Chris13

Portable amp with HIFIMAN players : is it necessary ?
Hello all, I'm going to Jaben store, Singapore, in a few days to buy a hifiman player : don't know again if it will be HM-601 or HM-801.

REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
Hello all I'm hesitating beetween hm-601 and hm-801 (to be used with Denon D5000 headphone). Given only SQ criteria, is it a better deal to have hm-601 + a very good amp (let say meier stepdance or RSA P-51) instead of hm-801? Thanks- Chris13

HIFIMAN HM601 or HM801 : Help me to choose
I'm not going to say that you can't profit of an amp. Having read several reviews, hifiman amp part is so good and signal path from DAC to amp so short that even when using the line out with a good amp, the headphone out still has the edge or at least is comparable. The bonus is that you...- Chris13

HIFIMAN HM601 or HM801 : Help me to choose
Thanks for your reply. I focus only on SQ, for all others stuff I already have a wonderful iphone 4. What I find great with hifiman is that you don't need to buy another amp, a LOD, etc. So yes I'm sure I want a hifiman :)- Chris13

Using a DAC with my office computer : how to do it?
Quote: Thank you for your answer. The HM-602 is a USB DAC (it is also a portable player) so I guess it cannot be connected using optical connection. So if I understood, once the DAC is connected it simply appears in the audio devices of the control panel : I just set the DAC instead...- Chris13
