In Reply to: Has anyone compared the Sony HAPZ1 to the Marantz NA11S1 posted by navman on September 8, 2014 at 19:00:40:
Well took a week to get all my music up onto the Sony. I am exaggerating a wee bit, but 4 days is a lot of time. I'll blame my network. Today I put in a new more modern switch as the backbone for my house.
Anyway, the Sony does sound decent. The Marantz beats it on sound quality especially in AB comparisons. I like the convenience of having a big "iPod" in the secondary system and so i can live with the slight downgrade if its really even that. I understand why the Sony doesn't have a digital out, but that would have been nice at least for me.
I have heard the Red Wine Audio mods on the Sony and wasn't impressed. There was a difference, but not anything special. i do like the idea of swapping the hard drive for a solid state one and removing the fan.
