  1. I don't doubt you. I believe a well conditioned room is very important if you listen with speakers. In my case I chose the headphone way for convenience /life style and I wanted to get the most enjoyable system I could afford . I use an Auralic Taurus amplifier, Audeze Lcd2 and the Sony with Supra Cabling (200€ total for XLR and Power Cable) . Before settling with this system I tried all kinds of combinations of Dacs / Sources in the 1000/5000€ including the Vega, Naim, Aurender, Bryston, etc. I knew I didn't need to think about changing the amplifier so I concentrated in the source /dac. I was using an Astell & Kern 240 at the time. A expensive portable player but not a contender to the Sony when doing critical listening and also far more finicky. After a few weeks of trying different combinations in my 'place' (this is important) I chose the Sony HAP-Z1ES for a combination of sound quality + convenience + price that was far ahead of the competition. If I wanted to get something similar in sound 'enjoyment' I could have chosen the Auralic Vega + Aurender N100 plus interconnects for 3 times the price of the Sony or use the Auralic Vega with a dedicated Windows Server 2012 R2 system and Hqplayer. They all sound VERY VERY good. So I chose the Sony. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
  2. There are not many detractors of the Sony. It's an amazing sounding piece of gear, with and without uber expensive cabling. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
  3. At least they are acknowledging the problem, though they could scrap the newsletter bs [emoji23] Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
  4. I think my problem has to do with the new firmware. Before I could see a "?" sign on the screen when the unit couldn't connect or couldn't find information about some music on the gracenote server. Now that sign does not appear when it is connected to Internet and it keeps showing the updating graphic until the unit becomes unresponsive. It doesn't become unresponsive if I am not connected to Internet and keeps playing music uninterrupted. I don't think a factory reset would solve this behavior if it keeps the same firmware.

  5. I am having problems with the unit due to the connectivity problem with the Gracenote server. Once it is connected to Internet via WiFi it keeps trying to update the database and, after a few minutes, it becomes unresponsive. The only way I can listen to some music is by disabling the Internet connection but then I cannot control the unit with the smart phone. Does anybody now how could I connect the unit to the network but stop it from trying to connect to the gracenote server? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

  7. That is great is you are interested in their artists ; but if you are looking for mainstream rock, pop and jazz then hdtracks and acousticsounds are the ones that carries them. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
  8. Unfortunately sometimes there is only one way to get that album the way you want it. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
