Awesome, thanks to jelt2359 & petercak for their research
now that we know more and more about the difference of U and UK
plus UK chip still available, i wish Fang can use UK chip for all the 1st batch~ it would really mean a lot, so please ~~~~~ use the UK chip for us 1st batch
my valid reason ? funny i did a google search yesterday and realize even though Hifiman are highly regarded and receive good words from judging by the spec (non of the IT site such as gizmodo have even gone through the trouble to test it as non of them go to the meet ~ they all just copy and paste the spec and word of mouths only !! )but almost all of them think people who buy hifiman are crazy bunch and Hifiman will not survive in the market ~ so they basically laugh at us! and priced to extinct
new and new mp3 player are coming out such as Zune HD though albeit they are only consumer level and no where near as hardcore as Hifiman~
but man i really wish we 1st batch buyer being rewarded by Fang as we really put in our support as only few heared the Hifiman in the meet , rest of us are all just have faith in the product! some even still fighting and argue about why hifiman dont have storage issue etc etc
soon some will receive the hifiman and start giving words out there and follow up will come through but heck that isnt really fair at all as 1st batch order were really struggle for months there they have to be laugh or question about their purchase decision wise or not ?? ( dont blame me for late coming as i joined the site only 28/7 and that really is about when i start to touch about Audio! and on the same level i m same as any one who have faith in the product just by word of mouth and review and suffer the same struggle even though i m new to the Audio world, so there should be no discrimination !)
so if Fang can get his hand on UK chip and with his ability and budget, it would be awesome to use them all in 1st batch ~ words of mouth will start spread after its out
then rest will be history !!
whether Hifiman will survive or not like the critics and general public says, at least it existed !! so lets make the 1st batch a legendary one !!
there will be HF-802 or 80X or even HF-xxxx but like i said rest is history
i m already proud to be 1st batch and 1st of its kind ! it's a revolutionary product like R10 or Orpheus in MP3 (i think we do agree that HF801 sets a pretty high bar for late comer dont we ? ). and i m sure later others join to manufacture similar product might start to discover the price range and might scale down to cater people with less budget etc and until new invention, i m sure HF-801 r here to stay and stand as standard for comparison for a while in MP3 world
so i picture myself to have mine display in Australia and later malaysia lol hahaha bit of personal touch to signify the difference and unique limited make of it is what makes us stand out ~ right guys ??
