OP, i have had mine for almost 5 years and absolutely love it. Sounds great and easy to use. Just rip your cd's and transfer them using the Sony HAP app. As the above post indicates everything ages. It all comes down to how much money you want to spend. Good luck with your decision.
SONT HAP-Z1ES
Looking at the SONY HAP-Z1ES AUDIO PLAYER I hate to admit but just been putting the disc in the tray and off we go for the last 15 yrs or so. It sounds like its pretty easy to use just rip your CDs and move them over to the player via ethernet will this work with my Sony TA-es9000 pre/pro I use analog outputs for music looks like it has them on back also will it copy a CD recorded in DTS. Thanx.
