New Sony Firmware For HAPZ1ES Player

Sony has a network update available (today) for the HAPZ1ES server/player.  It upgrades the firmware and adds new features.  You also must update your remote software on your iPad or Tablet.  It all took less than 5 minutes.  Seems to be working fine, so far.

Yes they added Spotify. They didn't indicate new sound improvements I can recall. Maybe the app is more reliable now (both were updated). So far so good anyhoo.

Guys-

can this device receive Hi-Rez downloads from the net?

Or, would said file have to be transferred from a PC or MAC (after being and stored as a download)?

Happy Listening!

As far as I know, no it can't download Hi-Rez files off the net.  You must download to main computer and then transfer to the Sony via the wired or wireless Ethernet.

Cannot download anything directly. Files have to be beamed in from elsewhere. Can play via external usb drive though.
