HiFiMAN HM-802 Reference Music Player

HiFiMAN HM-802 Reference Music Player

HiFiMAN today introduced a new high-end portable music player, the HM-802, which claims to deliver audiophile-grade sound at a more affordable price. Based on the company’s HM-901, the HiFiMAN HM-802 achieves its lower price point by use of the proven Wolfson Dual DAC chip.

Like the HM-901, HM-802 shares the same user interface, high performance step attenuator and rugged design. All amp cards and cable connections are also interchangeable. In addition to offering best-in-class sound quality, the new HiFiMAN player accepts a wide array of audio formats, is expandable and easy to operate.

According to HiFiMAN Founder and President, Dr. Fang Bian, “The best technology and great sound is only as good as the user’s ability to operate their device and access their music, quickly and easily. Along with great sound, ease of use has been a high priority in designing our portable players and the HM-802 is no exception. For example, on the User Interface for the HM-901, you’ll notice that the buttons and a rotating navigation menu cleverly comprise the main interface. The innovative TAICHI UI and high quality volume controller also add value and performance to the entire operating system.”
