HM901 is a flagship lossless music portable player made by Hifiman and released in 2013. The interface is ugly. The response of input is slow. but the music quality is great.

It is super hot, over 100 degrees yesterday. When I tried to turn on HM901 at night. after it booted up. it initialize the SD card, and then it says “SD card Error”. I tried different SD card. and also ejected SD card and re insert it many time. No luck. Every time it says SD card error immediately after I inserted SD card.

I was very frustrated since this player has great sound quality and high price.

I contact the founder of HifiMan on weibo, he responded quickly and asked me to contact customer service in US. I sent the email to the address shown on their website and describe the problem. They responded after one day, asked me if I tried reset and updated the firmware and where I am located.

I tried reset and wonder how to update the firmware since it cannot read from or even identify the SD card.

This morning is very strange.It rains with thunder and lighting during the night in the mid August. It is well known that it has the Mediterranean climate in north California. It has very litter chance for raining during the summer. Therefore it is very weird in bay area.
