  1. I had the question mark show up the last time I tried to transfer high res files over Wifi. The user guide doesn't appear to explain what the question mark means. However, it appears there was apparently a dropout in the Wifi transmission and the transfer and file analysis didn't take for all the files. My router presents a strong signal to the HAP-Z1ES, but I have found the wireless transfer of files to be unreliable even for just a few albums. Since I don't have a LAN connection in the room where the HAP-Z1ES is, my solution was to uninstall it and connect it directly wired to my router to get it synced up correctly. I deleted the set of albums I had tried to transfer wirelessly, but may have not needed to do that.
  2. Unfortunately, when using the HAP software to control a whole library automatically the log file is necessary for it to keep track of what is synchronized. It works pretty well to synchronize a whole library. With my setup, I didn't want it to synchronize everything, so used the manual transfer setting at first then just started dragging and dropping files over the network without using the HAP software. In the short run, if all you want to do is transfer new files I'd recommend doing that manually either within HAP or within the network folder structure. If however you want full synchronization and automatic transfers and updates as you change things in your laptop's file structure the only way I know of is to let the Z1ES rebuild the log file.
  3. I've been enjoying my HAP-Z1ES since November. Also have the issue with the 20,000 track limitation. Mine will accept more than 20,000 tracks but the database becomes unstable above that point. Things I noticed were that above the 20,000 track level cover art would not carry over from the original tagged files. And, of greater concern was that files imported after the 20,000 limit seemed to be occasionally randomly delinked from the associated album. The only solution I could think of was to remove enough tracks to get down to around 18,000 tracks on the unit with room left over for growth. Works perfectly that way. I am using primarily WAV files that are tagged in JRiver, and am a bit of a cover art fanatic so any hiccups in that area bother me. I am also using high res FLAC and WAV files to a limited extent. Below 20,000 tracks no problems. Also found that the 1TB drive is sufficient storage space for the amount of tracks I am using even though most are in WAV format. Apart from that issue, I have been enjoying my HAP-Z1ES immensely in its unmodified form. The sound quality is considerably better than any CD player or standalone DAC I have used before. Information here and in other places encouraged me to buy one.
