The HifiMAN HM-801 portable media player (PMP) is a different kind of PMP. It combines a Burr-Brown PCM1704 DAC and a OPA627 op-amp in a single modular unit that lets you use your own amplifier if you want. Supposedly sound quality isn’t compromised as it features full support for FLAC and lossless WMA.

Keep in mind that it lacks video support, media-related features and internal storage all together, so make sure you have a ton of SDHC memory cards if you want to use the retro-ly named HifiMAN HM-801.

The device will retail for $700 this June.
