Although it does give you an idea about the size of the thing. I did hold a Clip (not Plus) in my hand for a while.
What about tag browsing? Some folks say that if you select 'ARTIST' all the songs would be mixed up. No good. I got the entire Pink Floyd in lossless and I don't want the songs to be all mixed up when I select 'Pink Floyd'.

Yeah, it puts them all together, instead of separate albums.  Should add that to the Bug list.  I really want Gapless playback fixed first, though.

Gone dash it.
Most important ones: Gapless; that mixed-up browsing (I want either folder browsing or iPod-ish tag browsing); some sort of a charge indicator.
 
EDIT: It does have folder browsing, eh? So I can go SD Card > Music > Nightwish > Dark Passion Play > Eva.flac right? The songs in folders should be in order?
 
EDIT II: That 'Artist' problem, is it still there as of v0.19 firmware? Sorry for repeatedly asking questions, I'm about to buy one and I would like to clear some things up first.
To update the firmware, connect the HM-801 without the SD card, put the IMG file on the unit, shut the unit off, pull the cable, reboot, and it automatically updates. Is that right? Some folks say you have to delete everything on the unit before putting the IMG in?

If you use dbpoweramp you can organize your files by artist, album, song so you can have good organization.

You will probably need to have the track number to get it in order - '06 Eva.flac'

Yes, still there

Correct

No, you don't have to

Does the new batch with the low gain have inferior sound quality compared to those made earlier? Or they sound the same?

Thanks yellow Beetle and Adehall, I realized that I can use dBpoweramp's dynamic naming when I convert all those ALACs back to FLACs.
Also, in the debug thread, a couple of folks reported that 1) they have to play a 16/44 before being able to play a 24/96, and 2) some 24/96 plays for a few seconds and the entire unit locks up. But that seems to be v0.15?

Update to latest firmware, If it still happens, be sure to contact for an RMA I it's usually a hardware problem.

EDIT: Would the unit play 24bit/44.1kHz FLAC files? It does 16/44.1 and 24/96, but what about 24/44.1? I do have such files, a lot.

Version 0.19 supports this. I haven't checked it with older versions.

Will post the 2yr warranty order link after hifiman released.
 

Does anybody know, where this link is to be found ?

Because I plan to buy a Hifiman 801,before Christmas,I ask where can I find 24/96 files to put in,(I can not find anything here in Greece),because it would be silly,to buy a super duper machine,and feed it with,say, 128Kbpss.
Googling 24/96,I found this site,https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php ,which,says,that sells such files.
Is there any feedback  for  this site please? 
Theodore.

Unfortunately they don't sell to non US residents yet.
 
But why not rip your CDs lossless as FLAC or WAV?
 
Regarding 24/96 etc., quality does not depend solely on this data. It's more important whether it is a copy of the original master, which could also be a 24/44,1.
The quality of the master may also be different, depending on the recording...
 
You can get high res studio master files here:

[Theodore]

Thank you very much.
Theodore.
P.S. I saw that their files,were 24/88.2,instead of 24/96.
Can Hifiman,play those 88.2 files?

 

[xabu]

No, Hifiman can't play 24/88.2 yet.
 
But you can convert them to 24/96 though.
 
But they have also 24/96 and 24/44,1 files on their site.

Are you sure ?
I bought several tracks from them

 
I concur that playing 16/44.1 lossless files is already a VERY good start.
I bought 24/96 files of some albums I already own in 16/44, and I find out that the quality difference (when there is) is due to remastering, not resolution.

Interesting  (...we're talking about "hdtracks.com", correct? ...).
For when you are about to enter your address in the check out process it is stated that they do not sell to Non US residents (below the "Country" input field which is preset with "United States"
"For the time being, HDtracks only sells to U.S. Residents"
Would be glad if there where a way though.
How did you do it ? Did you pay by Visa or PayPal ?
What address did you enter?
