I have listened to a slew of sound enhancement engines such as “MP3 Remaster”, “Automatic Sound Retriever”, “Compressed Music Enhancer” and many others. Furthermore, the media player also up-converts anything you put into it into DSD (Direct Stream Digital) stream before turning it into an analog signal. Therefore, when you set DSEE to automatic, when the media player detects that the soundtrack it’s playing is not compressed or a lossless compressed file, DSEE will automatically shuts off so there won’t be any over-processing. Unlike most compressed music enhancers, DSEE actually analyzes the sound source and apply the appropriate amount of sound enhancement as necessary. Better yet, this unit also includes a DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) algorithm technology developed by Sony, to enhance the sound quality of compressed audio files by restoring high-range sound removed by the compression process. Unlike any media players out there, however, this unit also plays DSD files natively. Just like any media players out there it plays everything you throw at it such as including AAC, FLAC, LPCM, MP3, WAV, and WMA. Need extra space? Just grab an external USB hard drive with your song collection and plug it into the rear USB jack and now you’ll have a total of 5 Tb of music.
And with the Gracenote CDDB synchronization capability via its Wi-Fi connection, the unit can grab the album art to be shown in great clarity on its relatively large screen.

No need for iTunes or Windows Media Player. It is that simple! Even moving files is literally only drag and drop into its 1 Tb internal hard drive.

In fact, there is not even a manual included for this unit at all.

With the same cosmetic simplicity and beauty as the TA-A1ES, plus the highly logical and ergonomic user interface, one does not need to even crack open the manual to master this unit. I’m so very glad that it is not the case for the HAP-Z1ES. Therefore when I was requested to write the review on the media player section, I was a bit nervous as I have no “nice-filter” when it comes to writing a review. That reason above plus the sound quality being no improvement than the original media itself gave me no impetus to use a media player at all. I like to hold a tangible vinyl and CD (and even my 2” reel-to-reel tapes from my studio recording era) media. Higher than advertised and at the planned $2,000 price, you get more than what you paid for.Īs most of you may have realized, I have never been a proponent of media players.

Measured with full spectrum 20 Hz to 20 kHz signal, both channels driven, this integrated amplifier albeit being a prototype, maintains near-83 watts per channel. And by the way, the rating of 80w per channel is a true rating. This is all about accuracy, no colouration, garbage-in-garbage-out…the way any amplifiers are supposed to be designed (yet somehow so many companies fail to do, some high-end amp companies even failed miserably). If you’re looking for “warm sound”, or “organic sound”, look elsewhere.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it is just a cosmetics nitpicking as the sound of this receiver is very lush, dynamic and hyper accurate. To nitpick, unfortunately, the left channel speaker terminal can not be inserted with spade connector from the bottom because the power plug is blocking the cable (hence the weird speaker cable connection you see in the picture I took from my review unit). The speaker terminals are HUGE and can fit both spades and banana plugs. There is no other control beyond input buttons (one pair is a balanced XLR input) and a volume knob. The TA-A1ES stereo amp is a true 2 x 80w integrated amplifier with “all-discreet preamp stages and audiophile-grade components throughout” and set in dual mono configuration. It’s full-on metal faceplate, chassis, cover, and they are all of very thick gauges too. This is a truly one-stop solution from music player (HAP-Z1ES), an elevated standard stereo amplifier (TA-A1ES), a pair of sonically matching floor-standing speaker system (SS-NA2ES) all of which Sony graciously enough to have them to be reviewed at my location where the electrical signal is filtered through Torus Power AVR2-20 and all the wires used are from Kimber Kable’s top of the line offerings.Ĭosmetically, this entire line is beyond gorgeous. Not only audio, I might add, but high resolution audio and for this Sony has announced a complete new product range of hi-res audio products and an HD music downloads store. Not too long ago at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Sony announced that they are getting back into audio.
