Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

Did anyone get a chance to hear this digital player. Seems similar to the Bryston BDP-2. I am very interested in how the upsampled DSD sounded.

Are the outputs variable and controlled from the front knob so one can attach a power amp directly to the Sony? Thanks, Ivo

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
