But it will never sound as good with the mobile version why Fang why??!?

Well let's try it out first and see.

Looking on the bright side, Mimouille, we will have the original souped up 901...

the hm901s should be "technically" superior to the hm901, the snr has improved to 120db

This could be what the DX90 did to the DX100/R10. Better numbers but not necessarily better SQ

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

The downgrade of DAC chips in the new version is actually making me to cherish my HM-901 more. LoL

 

[goodvibes]

Hopefully new form means smaller. If so, I'd consider one. Lots more to good sound than just the chip so wait and see how it turns out. Hifiman doesn't have a history of succeeding product being worse.

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

No!i want a bigger hm-902 that does native dsd and internal 256gb!
(flame suit is ready lol)

Maybe I should get the old version before they sell out?

 

[audiofrk]

I think everyone should calm down. We can riot after the announcement.

I think no need to rush to order.... we are just

-ing.... all are just speculations until the product is actually announced/released...

 

[M-13]

Sorry didn't mean to come off like I'm rushing.

(I'm not at all actually)
 
I have the DX90 which is also built on two 9018KMs, wondering how Hifiman will improve upon it. I'm very curious about what it might look like. I think it would be cool if Fang could improve the sound while using lesser chips and less energy to boot.
 
(just for the sake of fun and pure speculation) could the "s" stand for "small?" which means the 901s will be thinner/smaller verison of 901? with improved battery life and similar quality of sound?

 

[burtomr]

Why do you think the 901s will be any smaller? It looks like the same size in the video:

[OICWUTUDIDTHAR]

I don't, the hifiman rep just said different "form" not sure what that means

 

[burtomr]

From the video, if that's the real deal, it looks like the FW is the difference. Does anybody understand the words in the video...might be a clue there?

 

[OICWUTUDIDTHAR]

i just got some more info
 
apparently its a soft launch, they want to see the response from people first before going into production, if its negative they will likely call it off.
