Introducing HIFIMAN EF600--Desktop DAC/AMP Featuring HYMALAYA Pro Modules

Try swapping the fuse with the spare, should be in the compartment next to the iec.

How do I access it? There is no mechanism to open it. Should I open the device by the 2 screws on the side?

you should be able to pry it open with a thin object.

Appreciate the help, man. How do I change the fuse though? Do I have to open the device? Does that not void the warranty?

Do not unscrew anything, you simply have to pry open the fuse compartment beside the outlet, there should be a spare fuse, swap them around.

I did it. It finally works. You are a lifesaver, my friend. Almost send it back to Amazon. Now im testing it out. Again, thank you!
Edit: One last question though. Which fuse is in usage now? The one inside the chamber or the one tucked on the outside?

No way. The ESS Sabre Smsl M500 mk1 with Ananda Nano is tiring me in terms of fatigue very soon. I heard very favourably of Hifiman's dac and amps. Is EF600 very wide, big bold bass, non-fatiguing sound, I heard?

I wonder which is more of this compared to the Serenade.

Ef600 and serenade are extremely smooth.

I've had the EF600 for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying this unit. I don't have a lot of gear to compare it to, decided to try this as an upgrade from my Schiit Modius + Arcam rHead stack. The difference in detail and clarity with the EF600 was pretty much instant. I'm also still using the HE-4XX, but I have a new set of headphones coming this month. My only gripe is that I wish it had a power button on the front panel. I do reach back and turn it off when I'm done for the day so it's not just running hot 24/7.

I also have to say that I LOVE the headphone stand feature of this amp. Fits perfectly on my desk and makes music throughout the workday much more enjoyable.
