He's talking about comments from actual use.
 
The Clip+ was listed the 'unusable' and people used those for more than a year, closer to 2 almost.

Well, it wasn't listed as "unusable" all that time, but it probably took close to a year from the time they called it "unstable" to when they called it stable.
 A bunch of us are using it on on the Clip Zip already, which is on the "unstable" list.

You're right it did get 'upgraded'.  Most of my experience was during the unusable period prior to moving on to other things.

Call me a weirdo, but I could live with inadvertently bricking something like the Clip+ - would be considerably less thrilled if it were a $450 player from HiFiMan.

I see no flaw in your logic.

He seemed to not be aware of the firmware being listed as still not ready, if I was unjustified in informing him of this then please forgive me
I'm with estreeter, I don't want to potentially brick a dap that costs upwards of half a grand just to get a usable interface...if the piece of gear doesn't support my needs in its stock presentation, why the hell should I support it? Definitely shouldn't need rockbox on a dap that costs that much.

Is the 603 vaporware? I don't think I would get it over the 602, and honestly, the 601 is the DAP I chose, and I stand by that, until my iBasso, of course. Still, that's neither here nor there, I am curious about what happened with this guy.

I bought one in HK, and was thinking about selling it.  I think I really do miss using iTunes to convert my music, and the use of playlists.

My Songbird playlists work on my Rockboxed 601, fyi

Do you load all your songs from the device or SD card to create the playlists?  Or have you figured out a way to change the file path in the playlist file besides going through it with a texteditor and erasing it manually?

Hifiman seems to be a big name in the audio industry nowadays. However, I'm still doubtful of products made in china at this price tag.
 
Just wanna ask those of u using the Hifiman player about the durability of these players.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking. I only tested this because I had loaded all of my music by syncing to my sd from Songbird when I was on stock firmware. There were songlists included in the sync. After using rockbox, suddenly the lists were visible and working.

Why? Most electronics are manufactured in China.

Does anyone know if its safe to buy a 603 for 380
Off ebay from bigbargainonline? Are they pre-production models or the real thing. Kinda weird how head-direct isn't offering them yet!!

Well the 603 is being produced, I have one but I got it directly from the factory when visiting with Fang. I doubt it would be sold for that price is leggit but who knows.

Theres similarities between that seller and stuff on alibaba.com... I'm staying away from it...
Thanks Jamato.
Suspicious that theyre not being sold by head-direct yet. So these are too good to be true and probably fake.
Also I wouldn't expect any warranty if I bought something from them off ebay...
