Re: SONY HAP Z1ES High Resolution Audio Player - SOLD
Sales Pitch
Conclusion (hifisenses review)
The Sony HAP Z1ES demonstrated revealing sonic quality through their spectacular engineering. The performance surprised me and proved to me that it still deserves a top place in the current competitive market. With such favorable price point, which consisted of all in one DAC/Media Player/Media Storage/ Up Conversion capabilities, I don’t see anyone in the market is beating them in this area. Not to mention that it’s a Sony, and not any average company that claimed profound engineering achieved from their backyard. I see no reason not recommending this to anyone listening to digital music.

Have a question. Think the USB DSD DoP will work with the Cary Audio DAC 200t?

Yes I read. The DAC is very specific that it hooks to PC or Macs hence is there a way to confirm. Can test too.seanlock85 wrote:the firmware update, can use USB output to dac.

"The DAC-200ts supports super high resolution Asynchronous USB computer audio. That means PCM up to 32 bit/ 384 kHz as well as native DSD 64 and 128 audio."
To be on the safe side, you are welcome to bring your DAC to test and confirm that it works.
FYI the SONY HAP-Z1ES inbuilt DAC is very formidable. I have a dCS Debussy DAC but I prefer to use the HAP-Z1ES XLR output to my preamp. When using the analog outputs, the HAP-Z1ES can upsample all audio files to DSD format.
