Product Description

It is well known that Non-oversampling dacs offer great sound for little money. HM-602 is the first portable player using non-oversampling DAC: Philips TDA-1543. As younger brother of HM-801, HM-602 shares HM-801's great sound signature. To make it as portable as possible, HM-602 do not have amplifier modular design. However, its headphone amp part is very similar to HM-801's standard module. To drive both high impedance and low impedance headphones, HM-602 with the high / low Gain switch can drive both high efficiency IEM and most full size headphones. In addition, HM-602 also can work as a USB DAC.

HiFiMan HM-602 Portable Player Review

Having had numerous iRiver, Cowon, Ipod, and Creative players over 10 years, the Hifiman 602 stands head and shoulders above in its beautifully clear rendering of FLAC files (CD quality or beyond), without any EQ or digital massaging needed. I listen with Hifiman's superb RE-262 in ear phones and a moderately good Sennheiser HD558 full cup open headphones. The player drives both brilliantly, albeit with different sound signatures in each device. Quality headphones or IEM are essential if you purchase this device. The GUI is basic (if you are used to the excellent old iRiver IHP-140, this is similar), music is via SD cards (max 32GB) - no problem, it's drag and drop for music files like with Windows (easy), the buttons are a tad creaky (no big issue), battery life is about 8-10 hours, and of course no video, but do not be fooled by appearances and idiosyncratic issues if you care about good sound. This delivers. I've had two ipod Classics and whilst a Mac lover and affirming that Apple audio devices are the sexiest on the outside, personally the ipod audio quality/clarity is far removed from Hifiman's and Apple headphones are worse than bad. Cowon S9/D2+/X7 deliver great sound + video+ more GUI+ lots of nice EQ settings, but Hifiman is singularly more refined with even no EQ. The 602 does have some nominal EQ settings which do not seem to work under current firmware but really at this sound quality, such trivia are just obsolete. Build quality is good (Apple being superior). You get DAC functions which I've never used - this makes its smaller brother HM-601 exceptional value. Overall, aside from my old favourite IHP-140, simply the best "mp3" player I've ever had, beaten only by its big brother. The player is about the size of a pack of cards, slightly thicker and overall light and pocketable.
