OK , i think i'm gonna make an announcement to get  one on the for sale trade forum . Is it better than the HIFIMAN Balanced amp card ?

I think you can find some impressions of the discrete card over the HM901 thread(s).

. OK thanks , talking about difference about SQ between the 650 and the 802 , i have ask the question to Hifiman , the reply is : not much because they share the same dual Wolfson Dac . I think that the 802 will be cannibalise by the 650 .

To me yes, the discrete card has better extension on both ends w better vocals too. It is a bit more powerful than the balanced card even in balanced setting. But some users prefer the balanced card.

Anyone know if the HM-650 has the same filter switch (HD/Vintage) as on the HM-802?

NVM - saw the images and it appears it does. I agree that this may cannibalize the HM-802 sales.

I received mine today and yes, it has the HD/Vintage switch. The back cover fits much more tightly than the back on my HM-901.

whats the hd/vintage switch

From audioadvisor.com:
 
"Another great feature of the HM-901 is the HD and Vintage switch, which alters the DAC frequency response. HD means high definition, and there is less roll-off in the high frequencies. It's a more modern sonic signature. Vintage gives you 3 db roll-off at 20 kHz to mimic the softer sonic signature you get from classic hi-fi gear."

I don't hear any difference between the HD And Vintage switch , perhaps that's a function only available on the HM901 ?

 

[alpha421]

Curious what phones and music source you're using?  It would be a shame if that functionality is not activated despite the physical switch.
