Hifiman HE-400i and HE-560: From CES to Pre-Launch
Mar 15, 2014 at 8:51 AM Post #2,551 of 3,091
I was referring more to the HE-400i. Unless you're a quiet listener, you might be able to get away with the 560. I've got a portable amp for that though XD.

Gotcha, that makes more sense. So for those that have tested the new HE-560, did they find them easier to drive in comparison to the HE-500?

There really haven't been any test to speak of. Just a few who got to hear the 560/400i at the show. Based on specs I'd say that they should be slightly easier to drive than the he500 (the 560 I mean). The 400i should be incredibly easy to drive.

  Who sells replacement/upgrade cables for HIFIMAN? Didn't see much out there besides Cardas.


Lots of quality replacement cables out there. I LOVE my Norse Norn.

As someone who already pulled the plug on the 560, I really hope I'll like it :wink:
Ideally a best of both worlds 500/6 breeder with enlarged soundstage ;D
I'll patiently wait for the impressions though the trigger has been triggered...
Speaking of which, have the review samples been sent out yet? It's mid-March ;(

How did you pull the trigger already XD  Or did you already set aside them funds :p  I know everyone keeps on saying, it's mid-march already...  But they said around mid-march, it could be a little bit after mid-march as well XD  Last I heard, Fang was putting the final touches on the 560.  Just stay patient, they'll get out when they are ready to.  Having a great product a day too late is better than releasing an inferior one a day too early.

I obviously agree with you there :] I am just really excited for these [I missed my HiFiMEN since selling the HE-6 a few months back]
As for the purchase, I preordered them at stereodesk.com. There might still be 3 or less left, should ask Fred [audioprana@gmail.com] if interested.
Cheers.
 
EDIT - Now he even has a 400i preorder... well, I've already spend my funds on the 560... but since the 400i is still rather weeks - months away... Well
