I'd be curious to know the size of your music library that you loaded to the Sony, and about how long did it take? How many files? What type?
I had the lower-end Sony HAP-S1 that was very good sonically. But I had some problems with Library and other misc software bugs. The library and management are handled in the same way between the HAP-S1 and HAP-Z1ES. I wrote about some of the bugs I encountered further down this thread.
I wouldn't mind giving the HAP-Z1ES a try if Sony fixed some of the problems.
