Hi-Res Music Playback
---------------------
The HAP-Z1ES can decode the following file formats: DSD (DSF,
DSDIFF), PCM (44.1k/48k/88.2k/96k/176.4k/192kHz・16/24/32bit) DSD
(2.8/5.6MHz), WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, ATRAC Advanced Lossless,
ATRAC, MP3, AAC, WMA music file playback.
1TB Hard Drive for
music playback
------------------
Store personal music of all formats for local music playback on
the 1 terabyte1 hard drive. Hard Drive is expandable via USB
external hard drives.
Analog FIR Filters
------------------
This digital-to-analog converter effectively reduces
high-frequency noise in DSD signals. It features independent
right and left channels, with four analog FIR (Finite Impulse
Response) filters per channel producing a combined one-clock
delay. FIR filters are ideal for D/A conversion of DSD signals.
DSD Re-mastering Engine
-----------------------
This ideal D/A conversion system combines a high-performance DSP
and FPGA (field programmable gate array) to convert all signals
to 128 FS DSD signals. It was designed based on know-how garnered
from Sony's direct 8-times oversampling and Extended SBM
(Super Bit ping) technology for professional recorders.
Digital Sound Enhancement Engine
--------------------------------
Offers natural sound with a spacious feel by restoring high
frequency sound and the tail shape of the waveform likely to be
removed through the audio compression process.
Wi-Fi Built-in
--------------
Newly designed built-in Wi-Fi increasing whole-house coverage and
signal strength. HAP-Z1ES is rigorously tested to ensure its
Wi-Fi signal strength. This real world testing is to certify it
will work under the most extreme conditions.

Additional Features
*******************
"HDD Audio Remote" for iOS and Android phones and s
A dedicated app to control your listening experience with the
HAP-Z1ES. Create playlists, search stored music and full track
control.
Expandable storage via USB
Fine details and textures appear in whatever you're watching,
even in flat areas. Powered by Sony's advanced noise reduction
algorithm, this technology boosts image clarity with heightened
contrast and depth that you won't find on most televisions.
Two large-capacity separate twin transformers
For Analog and Digital circuits, big and powerful transformers
are used individually. The transformers are treated with
impregnation in a vacuum. In a power block, analog circuit and
digital circuit are separated strictly. It can remove some
adverse effect from digital noise.
Low-phase noise liquid crystal oscillator
The master clock acting as the performance standard for D/A
conversion is vital to achieving high sound quality. In
particular, sound quality is strongly impacted by phase noise.
This unit employs a liquid crystal oscillator with extremely low
phase noise to achieve an ultra-clear sound field.
Music transfer software
Compatible with both Windows and Mac computers, this simple
music transfer software allows you to select your music folder
and sync it with the HAP-Z1ES.
The ES Frame and Beam chassis
The FB chassis, composed of a frame and beams, has a long and
cherished tradition in the Sony ES Series. It offers both
high-precision ing of parts and high rigidity, achieving a
high-fidelity sound field carrying large as of information.
Notably, the base is composed of two plates of differing
thickness that provide sturdy support for the chassis. There are
two additional base plates beneath the transformers as well,
offering robust reinforcement that anchors the transformers
firmly in place.
