HiFiMAN HM650 Portable Music Player Impressions Thread

I'm not sure I can actually hear a difference between HD and Vintage modes on my HM-650. Sometimes I think I can, but it could be a placebo effect. Is this really such a subtle difference (HD seems subjectively a little "airier", unless I am imagining it), or should there be a more obvious difference (and my unit is faulty)?

Subtly warmer or much warmer?

Im in the market for this player again after deciding on the DX90. All i have to do is sell my Ipod classic as Ive seen the prices fro these have gone significantly in the plus. I could probably almost buy it straight up. so if anyone is interested in a Mint condition 7th gen ipod classic just PM me or it you want to trade this for it.

I just tested hm650 n dx90 fr my country local store
Now I dunno which one to buy
Hm650 - have very powerful amp can give more full sound n warm vocal sound
But is lack of USB DAC , and bulky.

Dx90 - I found more linear n smooth sounding but not powerful as hm650
But it can be as USB DAC n smaller size

BTW I only tested with my m40x my friend say this is overkill :frowning2:

Caved in and ordered the HM650.
 
Will provide impressions once I get them =).
 
Will compare against my Cowon S9 and Schiit stack (uberfrost, lyr) using HD700s, DT990 600ohm, and 1964 v3 ciem.

Which amp card did you order with your 650?
