Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

A really syrupy sounding tube preamp and amp ;-)


On a more serious note, I have to agree with oldmkvi and Prisoners on the Sony HAP-Z1ES. I had the lower-end model HAP-S1 that includes a modestly powered integrated amp and it sounded surprisingly good not only on my 'hi-res' files, but a handful of compressed MP3-like AAC files that I moved to it from my phone.

I don't normally listen to MP3 or AAC but if you do, and want to 'magically' improve their sound, the Sony will do it.

DSEE technology

"DSEE technology upgrades the quality of your compressed music files. When an original music source is compressed, you lose the high frequency elements of your music. DSEE restores these elements to produce high quality sound that's closer to the original CD recording."
