  601 won't play 24/192., it will play 24/44 and maybe 24/48 but no higher

It will play 24/96, but it down samples the 24/96 to 24/48

Okay that makes sense. Time to convert to convert to a lower sample rate. Thanks for the help.

well I read good things so far about the Hm601 and I am a looking for a musical warm dap, so me too I have the fiio x3, and was really wondering if buying any hifiman 601,602,603, or even 801 is an upgrade and a noticeable one or not.
 
I heard that there is gonna be a new dap by hifiman called HM 650, so I will wait a little before I buy anything
 
BUT Fiio in a way or another is the only DAP I have and I want a more rich, deep, warm sounding DAP any other suggestion
 
From what I read is that the HM601 uses the Philips DAC and this is why its warm and musical?

It is warm and musical because of the butterworth filter.

I'm open to rockbox if it's stable.

 
I am using rockbox for more than a year. Much much better than the stock. Perfectly stable. Just make sure your SD card is of good quality and doesnt have bad sectors.

If you can get one, get a 801 - beautiful sound and not bright at all.

KT66, have you ever had a change to listen HM602? Does it have a similar sound to HM601 as the reviews say? Thanks.

I own the hm801 now and had the hm601 before it, and yes the two share a simmilar sound imo with the hm801 being noticeably improved

I was initially considering the 601/602 route with the good help from Mshenay, KT66 and alpha421 and some others whom I forgot to mention but found a good deal with the Studio V 3ANV. It's more portable and had very positive reviews over here at Head-fi. It's still on its way though. I just hope I was not wrong with my decision.

hmmm good deal, I posted an hm601 for like $100 with an SD card, unless you got ur Studio V 3ANV for less than $100 I'd say you missed out ;3
 
still I hear the Studio V 3ANV has a warm sig to it as well, so do enjoy it! 

 

[jrazmar]

hahaha. I had to say it's a good deal based on the $450 original price off the HSA site. Really? you consider the Studio on the warm side? most impressions say it's neutral to high - like beware pairing it with brighter cans. anyway, it's coming so I'll hear it for myself. 

 I still wish I could hear the Hifiman someday.

You could have xD
 
I've NEVER heard the Studio V, but the fellow I got my hm 601 mentioned he had a Studio V player and prefered the Hifiman hm601 to it [or maybe it was the other way around]... either way enjoy it 

 

[jrazmar]

Noted!

Whomever said that the Studio-V has a warm sig has a strange set of ears as I found it the opposite of warm like the Hifimans.  IMO, it's a cold sounding DAP that needs warm transducers to keep it borderline musical, IMO of course.

I proably misquoted the fellow who sold me my hm601, either way enjoy it
