Sony seems not to divulge its plans for future development of products. The HAP-Z1ES has been around for a while, but it has also gone through a few firmware updates. When last I inquired, Sony tech support said that more updating via firmware was on the way, but no release date provided. Adding Tidal capability to the current Spotify stream feature would be a welcome change.
Sony HAP-Z1ES - Is there an upgraded model coming from Sony?
From what I can tell the Sony HAP-Z1ES has been around for a while. Looking at purchasing the device for my 2-channel set up (Paradigm Persona 9h speakers, Anthem STR Pre-Amp, Anthem STR Amplifier). From my research it appears this model has been in the market for many years. Was wondering if anyone has heard of plans for Sony to launch a newer model? Thanks!
