So I auditioned the Sony HAP-Z1ES digital music player at Sony showroom in 313. It was paired with the TA-A1ES amp and SS-NA2ES speakers. I found the combination slightly boomy and thin with recessed mids, and sharp treble. The sound had an overall plasticky feel to it. Hopefully it'll improve with burn in and better cables (they were connected with stock power cords and really cheapo RCA cables).

I dunno whether to pre-order the Z1ES or not :crazy:
