I have just read the article on Sony's HAP-Z1ES in the March issue of The Absolute Sound. In there, the author states that his conversion of RB PCM to DSD via the HAP-Z1ES did not generate an improvement in the sound (p. 160, para3).
I wonder if anyone on this forum has used the HAP-Z1ES and can elaborate on this issue. One of the main reasons I would buy the HAP-Z1ES is to get an improved RB PCM conversion.
