I just got the player this weekand I'm very pleased with the SQ of the player, enough to spent another $1,O00 in some headphones that could be a good mach. So I will like to hear any suggestions. I'm looking for over the ear headphones. In advance, thank you for your help.

Anyone knows who could change the plug to make it single ended. The plug it's failing so I would like to change it. Any company? I would change it myself but I don't know how to deal with the cables, anyone's knows the scheme, like the colors and how it attach them to the new plug?

Yes. :)

Sorry if it's not the right place. It was an honest mistake. I'll change it later when I had time to figure out how to do it.

Hi! I have to sale my HM901. Only has a very small tear on the HiFiMan's logo, no issues on functionality. I'll send it with the original leather box, with all the original accessories and the Standard Card (Ver. 2) PLUS the IEM Card, the external charger and an extra battery. Shipping to the...

It would be a shame. Since I got Tidal I haven't touch the HM901. It's just that the files in Tidal are so much better and with better dynamic range than most of my cdrips in flac. The problem it's than most cds have some extra dynamic compression (some a lot) while Tidal doesn't have it, so the...

Hey guys! Anyone knows how to feed the HM901 with the USB output of an smartphone. I want to use Tidal with the HM901 as DAC/Amp. I would really like that HiFiMan had Tidal integration in the near future .

Newest beta firmware v2.002 includes again the digital filter option. You can try it. Anyway is just an option and question of taste.

Remember DO NOT decompress the file. The file in the FAT32 card must be a zip file. Sometimes the file is decompressed automatically by the downloader or your computer.

For update the firmware you have to use a FAT32 card. It can be a 1GB or less (the firmware is less than 100 MB). For storage and playback music you can use both, FAT32 and exFAT.

The Bypass filter it was an option on the 1.85 firmware. It allows use the option (avaliable from the chip) of use a digital filter that roll off the highs. Newest firmware doesn't have the option and sounds overall better.

I have the EF-6 and is amazing in sound, maybe you'll miss a remote control or a finer volume adjustment but the sound is excellent, but also it's a huge step. I bought it thinking in the HE-6 that I haven't bought but for the HE-560 it's a huge amp. I will go first for another card, Balanced or...

I took the specs from HiFiMan's website (my mistake, HiFiMan's website says "50+/-8 Ohms"). If the impedance it's 35 Ohms you'll notice an improvement with a more powerful card. As I said before, it's not only the volume, the "power" means how much control has the amp over the drivers, you'll...

I agree with LarsHP. The HE-560 has high sensitivity and very low impedance (8 ohms) so technically should be driven well by the IEM card. There's no need of a more powerful card.

The Balanced Card it's not like the double of the IEM card. The main thing it's that "balanced" it's a different configuration, with advantages and disadvantages, made some research about it but for using the Balanced Card in balanced mode you need Headphones with a special configuration of...

You're fine. With modern loud recordings I usually listen at 2 - 2.5 volume with IEM card and SE846. With recordings with high dynamic range I can go around 3.5 to 4. Also the lower volume you use the better for your hearing.

If you just placed an order he ain't gonna contact you unless he needs to check something. But if you already sent him an email or pm and he haven't replied you in a week looks like he never got it, that happened to me once and when he knew ask me the details about how I sent the email (device...

I will pay happily for upgrade if the playback issues are solved (e.g. the beginning of the tracks cropped) and leave everything looking the same. Being more reliable it would be a plus. Please, Fang, keep it black!

I haven't seen a single album art in my library. All flac files.

The time display seems such a basic feature but it needs a battery to save the settings between battery chages other way you have to set the time every time you change the battery. I think that Fang didn't think it was so important. Well, you know "SQ over convenience". My friends get surprised...

Just update to V2.00. The sound is definitely better to me, specially in complex recordings, the instruments sounds more detailed and defined. The UI looks better, personally I don't like the animations but it's the usual nowadays. The start up of the player still has its pop sound at start. The...

Looks like a little inconvenient. As you says it's easier just to listen an album instead a long playlist. There's a chance that they will improve it in the future. Anyway it's a non-essential function.

Like listen music while falling asleep? ;-)

Obviously our friend it's looking for an improvement in SQ from what the HM901 offer with the balanced card. I agree that the SQ and the convenience from the HiFiMan's cards are hard to beat but you can not be sure (at least about SQ). I'm just saying you can try as many options as you patience...

The amplification section in the HM-901 it's "any of the cards", so when you use the line out you get the signal before the cards and gets a line level output (like a cd player) to use with external amplification like a full size stereo system. Of course you can use any amp that you like, and...
