Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro Or HAP-Z1ES and MAcOS 12 (Monterey)? | |
Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro I've been sticking with Big Sur 11.3.1 despite my machine urging me at all hours of the day or night to upgrade to 11.6.Anyone other than audioli1, above, have any experience with HAP-Z1ES <—> MacOS 11.6?Thanks in advance. | |
Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro That'd be grand. The current software does include Spotify, but (to these ears) at very low-res indeed. | |

Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro The ES line was rumored to have hellaciously long hold times, but I got through in under two minutes.I wonder if they're going to wait for MacOS Monterrey, which will be released this fall, in case Monterrey introduces further incompatibilities.Wi... | |

Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro Thank you, all. Have been corresponding with Sony support. I might try drag-and-drop, though does that mean that Gracenote rather than yours truly supplies the artwork and metadata? For whatever reasons I'm seeing this as a Sony problem, not an... | |
Repair for n Art Audio Jota in Los Angeles? Wow, thank you, Verdant Audio! I'd rather get this done locally than pack and ship the amp, as I'm sure you understand. But it's great to know that if the tech runs into questions they can reach out to you. Truly useful.With appreciation, ... | |
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Black 1999 Mercedes C43 AMG. Eight-cylinder engine shoehorned into the C-class. Tight steering, fine acceleration, superb road feel. Stealthy, too. To make up for the 4.3-litre displacement, our other car is a hybrid (Lexus RX 400h).My previous ca... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century My Syrah stopped working one day. Mick was amazingly patient and effective, proposing diagnostics (via e-mail), even sending photographs with little arrows pointing to specific junctions.It turned out that the rectifier tube had shorted, buring ou... |
