Head Direct HiFiMAN HM 602 8GB Audiophile Grade Music Player

Description A year and a half ago the HifiMan HM801 was announced. It is considered by many as the first audiophile targeting digital audio player DAP. Now we have the HM 602 designed to bring audiophile quality to a more portable player with a more consumer friendly price tag. The HM 602 also has an expandable memory via its built in SD slot. Based on the well received HiFiMAN HM 801 the HM 602 shares the same great sound signature at a even better price. The HM 602 is the first portable player to utilise the Philips TDA 1543 non oversampling DAC chip. Designed to drive high impedance headphones the HM 602 uses the same robust headphone amplifier as its older brother while also featuring a highlow gain switch to drive both sensitive IEMs as well as full size headphones. The HM 602 can also function as a standalone USB DAC. Summary The HiFiMAN HM 602 seems to have all the bases covered playing most music formats such as mp3 wav flac aac ogg wmv etc through its DAC chip and built in OPA2107 headphone amp able to power most headphones including high impedance fullsized headphones and sensitive in ear headphones. With its 8GB memory expandible with the use of an SD card up to 32GB the HM 602 can also be used as a stand alone desk top DACAmp as such it is excellent value.
