I don't describe my own experience, because, as i told, I didn't have a chance to listen Himalaya HM1000, I am only tested r2r2000 black vs HM1000 and last one is a lot better. I prefer 1704k over all dac chips I listened. Next come TDA1541A S2.

I have opposite experience with my hm1000 black: SE 3.5 < B 3.5 < B 4.4

I never heard Himalaya myself and do not judge it. Based on my previous impressions it can be very good itself and perhaps best player for it's funny price. I am definitely not a guy who lives in a past, but sometimes something lost with a new technology. I heard some direct to wax recording...

Sure no.

Yes, but yours is not Hymalaya, it's 4x Burr Brown PCM 1704. Please tell me, if you play album, it stops after last song as it should to work? I am asking because my Black 4x Burr Brown PCM 170 don't stops after finishing last song and start to play from frist song again.

I asked my brother — yes, it can.

It's about your LP, isn't it? I am asking about HM1000 Gold/Black, that is more power hungry.

Software is abandoned, as usual for Hifiman

With Hifiman Remote App. I find this the best way to listen to music.

Hi all. My Black HM1000 as source (no internal am used) lasts only 3 hours when plays flacs from sd card. It is normal for Black/Gold with 4x 1704 chips, or battery need to be replaced?

Thank you for amazing amp and easy communication!

Hi, I will take it!

Anyone has experience of safe opening HM1000 for battery change purposes?

For me It's hard to return to all-in-one concept after HM1000 experience. Idea to combine hi quality DAP with outdated and noisy screen looks a bit ridiculous now.
