Fantastic Sound, high quality component

I've had this unit for a few months now and am very impressed with the sound quality. The HAP-S1 is connected to my Sony STR-DN1080 and works flawlessly.
I had no issues with the initial music transfer from my PC to the unit using the sony transfer software which took around 12 hours to transfer my library - approximately 400 albums all Flac format. I only wish it supported Tidal music streaming service (hopefully a future firmware update?)

Unit plays well and sounds good. Easy to store songs, albeit a little slow. Drawbacks are that you cannot delete a song from a playlist without deleting the song entirely and unable to view songs within a playlist. Has no HD playback outputs. Also would be useful to have it's IR codes so it could be controlled by a master remote.

Perhaps the most under rated product ever made!

Too many people see this product as being small, and therefore do not expect or accept that it's performance far out weighs it's small footprint. But, most importantly, if you are looking for a device to stream music from elsewhere, move on, this is not for you.
So, lets get straight to the point, this device is a very high quality music playback system, with excellent DACs and an excellent amplification system that is not only dual mono in design, it utilises a different type of transistor that the designers brought back to life from the 1980s because of it's sound quality, so this is not a product thrown together from off the shelf parts, it is a very thoughtfully designed and executed product!
The integration with the mobile app for playback works flawlessly and thankfully Sony have kept the app updated as well as the systems main software. I would go so far as to say there is nothing else on the market like the HAP-S1 that has this level of thoughtfulness and sound quality, period. Is it cheap? No, but in this case you truly get what you pay for, which is a very high quality music playback system built like a tank and on a rather small footprint, buy it!

I bought it three years ago and a whole horizontal line built up after a year of use. A defect as confirmed by SONY! But no service at all!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Streamer at a fair price

Excellent sound. Good software to transfer music from your computer. Nice size and well built. Expandable storage. App to control unit from phone or tablet, so no need for included remote. Digital out for more flexibility only thing that is not included.

Very convenient and easy to use storage device. Having an integrated amp makes sense for me. Pity its upgrade did not include an integrated amp. Its instructions on how to save music to external hard disk by importing from CD is unclear as it requires both the external hard disk and the CD to be plugged into same EXT USB input. Wish it could have from external CD payback devices connected to coaxial digital and optical inputs. It cannot...
