Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

Williedog, how do you like the SQ and DSD remastering of the Z1ES, please?
Are the outputs variable and controlled from the front knob so one can attach a power amp directly to the Sony?
Thanks,
Ivo

Williedog, is there a switch power supply before the two analogue and digital transformers? Tks

No outputs variable and controlled from the front knob. You can't connect the Sony to power amp directly,

the drive got cloned on a windows 8 machine using "macrium reflect." It's a free download, but any cloning software should do the trick

once you download the "hdd audio remote" app on itunes, you just keep your finger on those fields and make any change you want. The hard drive on the HAP then recognizes the changes

I don't know the answer -

Seems to me that you can try that first and if it doesn't work, clone the drive as I did.
