Finally there is hope for those of us who still care about listening to high quality music

I bought to replace defunct digital anaologue converter which I used for separate CD & DAB players and for connecting a PC to an existing amplifier. Unfortunately I cannot use the Sony as a pass through DAC with external sources if not using as an amplifier. This is a serious omission as I would suspect most people would be purchasing the Sony to fit in with existing kit. So in my case my it hasn't fullfilled all my requirements as I still need a separate DAC. However I like the idea of being able to store FLAC files to player and this has greatly improved access and selection of my music collection, especially using the app on a pad. Surprisingly I am using the Sense-Me feature more frequently and do enjoy it's results. So, overall it's a great product and is a joy to use but I feel limits it's appeal to those wanting to replace a system rather than add to an existing one.

I bought this Sony to store all my music , selling or giving most of my CDs. Sound quality is great paired with a pair of Boston a26 speakers. The down side There are not many hi-def down loads avalible in the UK Both the control app (android) and the transfer software (windows) need a lot of work on them. The transfer software fails to update automatically and I have start the transfer in the manual mode and control app often fails to find the Hap-s1 Get the software sorted and you would have a top class product
