It would have been so nice to place that compact ALL-in-ONE single box solution with built-in integrated amp on a shelf in my small office and control it all via iPhone or iPad. No more computer, outboard DAC, outboard integrated amp, keyboard/mouse, LCD screen, USB cable, interconnect cables, backup disks, etc. etc.
Unfortunately, the Sony has too many nagging limitations and bugs making it a hassle to manage if you seek perfection or near perfection. For a thousand bucks I expected better, maybe I expected too much.
My main frustration was with album art that matched the artist and I wanted it 100% correct, or given the opportunity to easily fix it.
I hate seeing Tom Petty's mug show up in the player software app on my iPad when I'm listening to The Doors! Or scrolling through all the album art (which is how I often quickly recognize what I'm looking for vs browsing through pages of text) only to launch the album from the artwork then find the wrong tracks and artist 'inside' the album.
I keep my vinyl records in their correct album covers. I guess technology isn't quite there to do the same automatically and 100% correct. I can live with that BUT at least let me easily fix the mistakes! Nope, not on the Sony.
Blah! Get this thing out of here!
I hope that I am! I think I have more modest needs.
I am gradually building a Download Collection, along with Recordings that I've done Live.
I can't imagine having 6000 Tunes, much less albums!
Only my very favorite things will go on it, I hope that building it a little at a time may be less stressful.
I don't have a computer based system, so I won't have that to compare it to.
Playing DSD files will be my main focus.
I wonder when they will update these players?
