First, Love the forum and all the great info. Now for the questions. Applications for using HM 801
1- Headphone IEM out with Westone IEM Mod UM2. What is needed?
2- Line out to connect directly to NAD 375 Amp to M80 2.1 speakers. What is needed or recommended?
3- Line or headphone out connected to AUX in Audi A8L
4- SD card recommendation? How to transfer songs to SD card?
5- What program is recommended to create lists and send to HM 801, Several have been listed on forums, I have Vista 64 and a Zen today for reference. Foobar? Etc.
6- Current using Ausu essence ST sound card for CPU playback. Audio out is great.
7- Is the mentioned (future) alt amp board available and will it make any difference with the apps above? Price? Worth getting? No gaming only HIFI sound is needed.
8- Do you get any options when you buy regarding OP amps? Software Rev? Etc.
9- Is there any real users guide. I can’t find one anywhere on the web?
I know this is a lot but hopefully several others will find it helpful. HM 801 is an expensive PMP so the more support the better going in.

Excellent questions. I'll make an attempt to answer some and let others chime in:

1. and 7. HM801 comes with built-in headphone amp, so you can plug your IEM into the headphone jack and be good to go, but the built-in amp has high gain for IEMs, so it has a relatively small range of usable volume control, especially if you listen at low volumes. In that case you can get the game card - it really should not be called a "game" card ... which has lower gain
2. and 3. You can use a mini to mini cable - cardas makes one - I use that for Camry - I do not know if it is different for Audi. You can connect the mini to the line-out fof 801 or the best sound quality.
4. I use Kingston 32 GB SDHC Class 4, there is a whole thread for it.

Cheers
