Maybe he only gets GOOD Gear to review!
The only complaints ( I read ) were about Streaming, or its lack.
Even the $1000 S1 got great reviews for Sound Quality.
I intend to get the Z1, but have to sell a few things first.
I'm a 2 Ch guy.
A Mytek plus Computer costs more.
I like the simplicity of the Sony, load Files, then listen.
And if I Don't like it more than my Sony 5400, I can send it back.
I use the DSD Disc feature on the 5400 all the time, and I want to hear some of my own
DSD Live recordings played back in Double DSD on the Z1.
Might be awesome…

Actually ,some early adopters are calling the DSD Remastering feature the real star of this player. Steven Stone was one of the few people that was lukewarm over the feature. He a/b a few things & mentioned he couldn't really be sure about there being much difference. I don't find it too surprising that his findings were'nt more conclusive . Our aural memories are far too short to retain what we've just heard & are replaced by the sound of that same music we are listening to at the moment. Our memory is totally overruled, we don't have a choice .
I think a better way to do a comparison would be to listen to a block of selections we may be familiar with the sound of & then listen to a block of the same selections so there is some
time between listening to the same music consecutively. Normally when someone says "I
think I may have heard some differences " this response has been triggered by something.
I know I'm very interested in find out if the DSD Remastering changes some of the characteristics of PCM that in itself would be enough of a win for me to get one. Any other features of this player don't appear to be un obtainable in other players in slightly different ways or features I really don't care about.
I like the DSD section of a SACD, as I can tell a sonic difference-for the better. It will be interesting to hear any difference(s) in download / hi-rez DSD counterpart(s).
