I feel shy to say this before. Now I think it is fine because HM-801 was discontinued (PCM1704U-K DAC is not available any more).    When we were designing HM-801 in 2008, the reference CD player was Meridian 508. We adjust HM-801's sound signature very close to 508. The little difference...

If you have a HifiMan HM-60x or HM-801, try the OTG cable with your Samsung Galaxy phone or Tablet.   I got both my HM-601 and HM-801 to work with the USB DAC input with an OTG USB adapter with my Galaxy Note 10.1.   Be sure to power up the HifiMan player and connect the USB cable and...

Does anyone know of a way to get the 801 to work with a Mac computer without Re-downloading all of my music,or a program that can convert all my files in itunes to A useable format that will work with the 801.Thanks.

Not sure if I'm the first to notice this, but the HM801 is gone from Hifiman.com and Head-direct.com.  Perhaps the new player is coming sooner than we think.  Hifiman is certainly taking the DX100 seriously.

hi all   i realy need your help with my HM-801. Since yesterday suddenly my baterry is not charging and now it is empty so i don't have access to my HM-801.   I check my charger with a volt-meter and got on both pins a measurement of -9.0V. Each pin of the charger connector to the...

Hi all!I decide to sell my new Hifiman hm 801 at the price of 550 euros...I sell it because i need a portable player and the hifiman is too expensive...i'm italian...thanks all!

Hello,   How do i connect the coax input on the HM801 to the optical out on my mac so i can use it as a DAC?   Whats the best thing to get?...   Thanks.

First of all, I want to thank Head-Direct for providing the review samples. Just about a year and a half ago, the HifiMan HM801 was announced. It is considered by many as the first audiophile targeting digital audio player (DAP) and it is made by a relatively small audiophile orientated company...

So I've got an HM 801 coming my way and I'd like to get the inside scoop from any of you owners and past owners. I'm in the process of rebuilding my inventory after a recent liquidation and right now I'm rocking the Heir Audio 4.Ai and the Beyerdynamic DT1350   Now the Questions:   1...

Hey I have a dilemma and need some help here Basically I have $800 and want a desktop dac/amp combo and a portable dap. Then I find that HM-801 can do-it-all. So which one do I chose?  Note that I listen to music at home more so dac/amp are more important to me.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I need an help by the experts of audio sound. Hope I am in the right site. I have an ipod classic (160 gb) sixth generation and p5 Bowers & Wilkins headphones. To improve sound quality i have an occasion to buy an hifiman hm801 at half price. Is that a good...

Hi, I'm new on Head-fi, but I'm looking for the best-quality portable music player for under $400. I've heard the Sansa Clip+, or Cowon V5 is good, but I'm open to suggestions. I have a sony mdr-zx600 set of headphones, but wouldn't mind getting better ones (if my headphones are the bottleneck)...

Ok so this is my first thread and im new to this pro audio thing. Im wondering if this would work? My source would be a hifiman hm 801 and my amp would be a woo audio wa5. My phones would either be hifiman he6 or hd 800. So, the phones would connect to the amp and the amp would connect to the hm...

Hello,   Can somebody help me so I can access my HM-801 in my PC. Below seems the problem I so far checked. Device status:  " This device cannot start ( code 10 )   tnx, normano

My old cowon s9 and sony x10 died due to some unfortunate accidents, so i recently bought a colorfly c3. While the soundquality was decent, the UI was so clunky and the popping noise after it changes a track annoyed me so much that i am looking for a new, portable and good sounding DAP with...

My headphone socket in the HifiMan is getting dodgy, especially if I walk whilst listening. I already have a Graham Slee Voyager that had a magical partnership with my 601, and I have tried it with the 801 and I think its adding something  I don't like, as I prefer the sound without the...

Not too expensive, below $500. Looking for SQ and nothing else.

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a high-end portable rig to use with my laptop as well, either USB or optical. Source could be an iPod or iBasso. Does such a rig exist? I'm cross eyed from trying to look back and forth between browser tabs trying to figure this out.    Any suggestions are...

Hello, I am just curious if anybody has some knowledge regarding the playback of 24/96 files with a portable device.  I figure some DAPs will work just fine, but I wanted to utilize one of the following devices below with my Fiio E17. Currently, I have: iPod Video 5.0G /w Rockbox -...

Hi guys, i've been reading this forum for a few months already. Upgrading from Shure SE215 to a Full custom 6 driver (Coming soon). Now i need a new Portable player enough to drive the 6 drivers. Hope you guys could help me out.   After reading most of the threads, i narrowed my choices to...

Lets say that I am an electrical engineer (which I am) and was somewhat interested in developing some product that would directly compete with the ipod market (which I also am). I am looking at what kind of things that you as the consumers would want in such a device?  Right now I have a few...

Hello Head-Fiers, I used to be a long time lurker in the past, and I've only just started to get into the world of Hi-Fi. Hearing the HD800's my uncle owns wet my mouth for some seriously professional and amazing sound quality that money can buy. Unfortunately all I have are a pair of m50's...

Has anybody managed to get their HM-801 to play files bounced at 24/96 in logic pro?... I can't seem to get it to play them. Bit of a long shot, but worth a try!     Thanks.
