formatted it as fat32, ok will give it a try

HM-901 reads exFAT, so there is no reason to use FAT32.
Formatting a 128GB card to FAT32 might make things slower and maybe even cause problems...
 
I would try reformatting to exFAT and then see how it works.

Actually there is a reason. When you're upgrading, the update.zip needs to be copied to a FAT32 formatted SDCard. At least in my experience in Recovery mode, the HM-901 does not read exFAT.
 
Edit: But in recovery mode, I just use a different FAT32 card. For normal operation my music files are put in an ExFAT formatted SDCard. So I have 2 cards.

I know. When I said no reason to format to FAT32, I was thinking of his problems playing music. As you say - it is solved by using another FAT32 card for updating the firmware.

do you guys feel the RE-600 worth the purchase?
 

 

[fermelom]

I just bought the HM901 (standard card) a few days ago with the RE600. I paired it up with a 128gb PNY SDXC. The card is almost full, maybe about 5 gig or so left of free space. However, the device keeps restarting and the spinning thing keeps appearing when it boots. Can never get past 2 songs before the device restarts again. I tried removing all non-relevant audio files but it still keeps restarting. Any of you have any idea what is going on?

I had the same problem. In my case it solve formatting the card to exFat. I have non audio files and since reformatted the reboot circle stopped but I'm gonna look for undesirable behavior on the playback on the folders that contains them.

I mostly share impression posted by brunk earlier.  Personally I ranked RE600 very highly among my collection just behind TG334 and 1p2.  However, I seldom recommend RE600 to others for the following reasons:
 
1.  It is a very NON consumer type sound.  There won't be any of these impactful bass/lush mids/spicy treble that wow people on first listen/demo.
2.  It perform significantly better balanced, and with the 901+balance amp board
3.  Cable is non replaceable and I don't like it's build quality, ergonomics is also just acceptable when wearing over the ear. (tho it's small and good for sleeping with them in your ears)
 
The merit/value for this to me is how accurate it reproduce the live environment of the recordings.  Very seldom I feel I'm really listening to live sound but I feel that when using the RE600 especially with well recorded classical music.  It doesn't have the massive soundstage of 1p2 or even EX1000, but it feels real as in an properly acoustically treated auditorium/concert hall.  Layering and imaging is also excellent.  Best part of it is the instrument timbre.  They all sound as life-like as IEM/headphone goes.  Same goes for vocal performances.  Voices are transparent and real.  Not too lush too sweet, not too thin or shrill either, just real.   For studio/electronically mixed tracks, it performs well and on par but not surpassing others in similar price range like the W4R.  
 
Definitely not a phone for everyone, and many may even find it meh and prefer the much cheaper $99 RE400 especially when not paired with 901+balance board.

Thanks, i was thinking to skip re-600 and use the money for purchasing cables to work with balance card instead... Your comment seems to confirm just that.. Its now just some background research, as i still need to burn in the dx50 for a while

 

[jelt2359]

Fwiw, especially run balanced, it has a far greater wow factor than for example my um3x. So it's not like these are purely for reference listeners.

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

I believe u guys have heard of heir 5.0 which its sound signature is what i love, but not so much for asg-2.. Which is more similar to re-600?

 

[Mimouille]

Could someone remind me if they found a good TRRS to 3.5 adapter? On taobao if possible.

 

[DavidNY]

Suggestion for those of you who just got a HM-901 and want to burn it in. Remove the battery, insert the charger, hold the on/off switch in the UP position until it begins the boot up process, it could take 10-20 seconds. You should be good to go.

I removed some of my mp3's and formatted it as exFAT, the reboot problem seems to have gone away , playing my third album consecutively without rebooting. Thank you so much for your advice!
