Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

Did anyone get a chance to hear this digital player. Seems similar to the Bryston BDP-2. I am very interested in how the upsampled DSD sounded.

What hardware/software utilities used to clone the hard disc? How do you put the composer's name in the "Artist" section and the performers name in the "Album Artist" section? Tks

Are the outputs variable and controlled from the front knob so one can attach a power amp directly to the Sony? Thanks, Ivo
