Sony HAP-Z1ES
« on: 28 Nov 2015, 01:07 am »
Greetings,

New to this forum. The Sony HAP-Z1ES player has been out for around 3 years now. Has anyone heard of a replacement model in the works? Thinking of getting one or is there one other model compatible to the Sony for around $2000?

You cannot beat the Sony for the price. It is a damn good sounding and VERY nice to use player. It is now even a CD Ripper!!

I really doubt Sony is releasing anything new anytime soon as far as an all in one. Pay the $2K, or whatever. It is very worth it.

Didn't know that - did they add a CD drive?

There is no CD drive built in, but word is that the latest firmware update adds the capability for an external USB CD-ROM drive to be connected for direct ripping.

Bingo! Haven't tried it yet though.... Supposed to be plug and play. Insert a CD in the drive, and a menu pops up. Other companies really need to take notes from Sony. Their UI is unbelievably great on the HAP.

OK,

I'm going to my dealer this Saturday so I should find out more details then on this Sony unit! So all I need is a CD drive connected and I can start burring away!
