Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

I took a chance and opened my unit, removed the hard drive from it's cage and cloned it to an ssd.

Glad to report that the operation was a total success!

With regard to classification, I simply put the composer's name in the "Artist" section and the performers name in the "Album Artist" section

To Willieddog, great to hear that!

What hardware/software utilities used to clone the hard disc?

How do you put the composer's name in the "Artist" section and the performers name in the "Album Artist" section?

Tks

Can the Hap install system software to a new inserted HDD? Tks

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
