Hello, i really hope somebody can help me with this.   I bought a hifiman HM-801 a while ago from somebody on here, and it was all good!-I really loved it, but a couple of weeks ago the headphone port broke so the jack just wobbles about and only has sound sometimes...   I didn't think...

Hi everyone,   I'm new to Head-Fi and this is my first thread.  Basically, I couldn't contain my excitement over my new purchase and feeling somewhat guilty about the insane amount of cash I just dropped on my new rig.   I spend so much of my life sitting on trains and ferries (my...

I know there are a bunch of reviews and comparisons etc. but I'm just looking for a simple answer.   Is there much of a SQ difference between the Hifiman 601/2 and the 801?  Obviously the 801 sounds better but is it like mind boggleingly (sp? haha) better or is it nominallingly (haha)...

Hello all, I'm going to Jaben store, Singapore, in a few days to buy a hifiman player : don't know again if it will be HM-601 or HM-801. Given your experiences, would it be a good idea (in term of SQ improvement) to add a good portable amp to the players? Are the default HIFIMAN amps already...

Sorry for crappy photos... It's by the iphone 4... But I am sure you would stop complaining about the picture quality once you know that I am using the very same iphone 4 to drive these phones...       So far I think the ED10 straight out of iphone 4 is actually acceptable, except...

Hello all members of head-fi First of all English isn't my first language, sorry for that.   I need a suggestion. I know there is a lot of people using this machine,so its very helpful to me if someone can answer some questions. I use a pc and iphone4 with sennheiser omx95 now and i...

Hi, I need suggestions on headphones to pair with the hm-801. I am going to use them straight out of the HO(unamped) Should I go for the hd-800?   wearing comfort and a great listening experience are the priorities.

I am looking for some IEMs that are nice, small and not too expensive. My main setup will be a HiFiMAN 801 with JH-3A and JH-16, which is not that portable, so I am looking to buy some Sennheiser IE8s. I found this auction, which looks like a great price:  ...

I did a few searches and could not find a post detailing a direct comparison of the DAC performances of these two units.  OK, some of you may be shaking your heads and asking something like, "Who cares?"   I admit the question is more academic and disregards important factors like...

Got it for jogging. This device is amazing! I don't hear any whitenoise with any of my headphones on the device. Even on my Triple-Fi no white-noise at full volume. People were saying how it isn't really a "line-out". Either-way it is a clean enough signal anyways! Of course it isn't as...

Fang posted this over at erji.net:   There will be 2 new additions to the HifiMan player line-up and they will be officially announced on Sept. 28th during the opening ceremony of the company's new experience store in China. Here are the picture on one of them:         Are these the...

The HiFiMAN HM-801.  Also in the photo:  Sennheiser HD800 headphones, Wadia iTransport, Ray Samuels Audio Raptor headphone amplifier, Cardas mini-RCA-RCA cable. NOTE:  The HM-801 in the photo is a pre-production HM-801, although the review below is of a production version.   When it comes...

Thinking about saving up for a balanced amp for these headphones. Do you think it prefers tubes or solid state? Amp suggestions are welcomed:-)

hello, i just bought a hifiman from somebody on here,(thanks again btw!), . The problem is, i am in the UK, so i am not sure about charging it. I would hate to destroy it trying to charge it up! The power supply says AC110v 1000ma DC9v. How powerful a step down transformer do i need?...Anyone...

Post your pictures of your HiFiMan 801. I saw this one pictures in the portable pictures, but i can find it so ill sask for onlyy 801 pictures.

I am going to make a big purchase of portable audio gear. I currently own the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Pros. I want a better cable, amp(depends on source) and a much better source. For a cable I am getting the Enyo Cable (Null Audio) $70. Please do not suggest Westone or UE Custom Cables as...

as title can anyone tell me a dac say under £300 thats a better source than the hm-801 when its used as a player not a usb dac if you get my meaning current set up is slo2 ,neco v2 twin 8610 wolfsons and ahd2000 looking for a cheaper way to get the same or better sound cheers

So.... the first batch is out, the second batch is arriving, and our quest for audio portable nirvana has finally ended!!! Yeah okay I admit it. I'm not sure even I believed that first sentence. What I REALLY meant to say was: this is Head-fi, so of course even before the dust has settled...

Now I normally use my Hifiman HM-801 as source. Before that I've used iPod Classic 120gb (Gen 6.5) plus iQube I and some other portable amps. Since I got my HM-801 I've got rid of all my amps.   I've used the HM-801 with ER4S and that combo produced some truly remarkable results. However, I...

Hey guys, this is my first post in Head-fi, but like many other first time posters I've been lurking around here for months now. When I first heard of the new Hifiman it seemed like the answer to my prayers. Since I am a college student, I am not near a "home rig" most of the time, so i wanted...

Hello all members of head-fi.   First of all English isn't my first language, sorry for that.   I need a suggestion.   I know there are a lot pf thread about it in forum, but of course there are (will be) new stuffs at the market.   I use imod + ibaso d4 with sennheiser hd 25-1...

So it seems to be the general consensus that the HiFiMan is one of the best DAPs out there my only issue with it is it's size.  For around $500 I can get a RWA iMod 240G 5.5G, of course I will need to get a good LOD (probably ALO) and possibly an external portable VCap Dock (but that is a lot of...

What's the best sounding mp3 players you know of. I have a Samsung P3 which has an impressive DSN 3.0 engine in it. I'm running out of music space and am thinking about getting a Zune HD. BUT, I do not know about the sound quality. That's what I mostly care about. 

At the begining I would like to admit that Im very sorry for mine english. Well, mine english grammar is very low ;/ I had been learning english for 6 years, but Ive werent really intrested with english(I always loved chemistry and biology :D), so Ive never used to learn english at home and...

Hey folks,   I'm looking to make an upgrade from my Sony MDR-7509 and Cowon S9 that I currently use when traveling. I bought a Beyer DT880-32, which sounds OK out of the Cowon, not great. I was able to hear the DT880 on a Hifiman HM-801 and was much more impressed with them, but I still feel...
