Ok, just got done reading the 29 page 801 firmware debug thread.  It appears no less than 7 others report not being able to play 24/88 files on the 801.  I understand the possibility of down sampling to 24/48 yet one person here and Fang says they can play 24/88 w/o issue.  I decided to upload a sample FLAC for you all to try and see if you can play it of get an endless loop/freeze requiring reset.  I also tried converting the file to WAV but it just gets passed over in the song cycle.  If anyone has a 24/88 file that works w/ the 602/601/801 please give a link for testing.

what bothers me the most about this player is that it doesn't remember the last song played. Ipod can do it, my phone can do it but a high end portable player cannot. I have several hundred songs in a single folder in my 602 and every time I turn it on I have to find the last song I listened.

Okay I gave that song a go and the player refused to play the song and froze. I was about to do the reset thing for the first time when I thought of connecting it to the PC first. The connection with the PC made it responsive again so I was able to delete that song.

At least my HM-801 isn't able to play 24/88 (... it is also not stated in the specs ...)
 
I've tested with numerous files.
 
My solution is upsampling to 24/96 with foobar2000 and sox ... matter of seconds for a whole album.

Nice workaround and saves a step!

When you turn it on simple press left on the d-pad it will take you back to the last song. I think that's what you're looking for.

I did but it was still unresponsive

Anybody else getting a noise coming out of their headphone out? I'm getting the same noise out of the HO like I did on the HM-801 before they changed the ST amp. If you turn down the volume all the way down you may hear the noise on your iem. Also I'm using the JH16.

 

[Pisn4e]

Is it at very low charge? The 602 makes a horrible noise when near flat.

 

[kiddragonsoft]

No the charge is at 80%

 

[Pisn4e]

I'm not sure then, I don't recall reading that anywhere else in the 602 threads. Hate to say it but it could be your unit.

I also have some kind of sizzling noise on my HM-602 with Ortofon e-Q7 from the HO. It's not regular hiss. Hiss comes when I turn up the volume to high levels (without music on). I remember that hiss was mentioned in the 801-602 comparison thread in the original review.

I'm having this noise from time to time too with my 801 ... if it is this noise you're describing (though it's independend of the phones used). It sounds like a TV with white noise, static noise or scanning between short wave channels ... it's there always just for some seconds. I didn't find any relation to anything yet what could trigger this ... seems the Hifiman are alive

and need some catharsis from all the music played on them ...

It sounds like we are talking about the same thing. However, the sizzling is there all the time on my player.
During music with low levels, like a solo violin, it is audible, but not during medium or higher levels.
