Hi, As someone who has enjoyed your posts in the Vinyl Asylum for many years, I am very curious why you want to leave vinyl behind. Do you mean completely? Please do tell us.
I have both networked digital and LP setups and use both. I also have extensive experience with the HAP Z1. Loading music into it takes a lot of time (Be sure to use a wired Ethernet connection) but once it is there, the user interface is very good especially via ipad app. I helped a good friend load in his music (including many High Res LP transfers, SACD rips and DVD Audio Rips which I did for him). He says the 2x DSD files sound the best.
He has a 5TB USB external harddrive attached where most of his music resides.
Once you get the music onto the Sony, I think you will be happy with it. But I hope you'll still be spinning too!
all my best, Stephanie
