| Jazz for aficionados .I saw Monty Alexander about 30 years ago at the Vine Street Bar & Grill in Hollywood. Up until that time, I had never heard of him. It was a great show. Today while listening to Pandora, this swinging piano came on...I went over to my stereo ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I think if we were more concerned with listening to the music for the ethereal emotional content than listening to the device providing the music we might more easily realize that connection. My grandsons have no problem connecting to the soul of ... | |

| Glaring Omissions .There are no winners and losers here. We like what we like and that's the end of it. No one here is in a position to judge another's preference in music.. | |
| Jazz for aficionados .Listening to Pandora. Saxophonist Buck Hill playing a tune called 'Yesterdays' from the album 'This Is Buck Hill'. I've never heard of Buck Hill before. Check him out if you have a Rhapsody account. The cat can play.. | |
| Glaring Omissions .Cerrot, get Pandora, it's free and it's a treasure trove of great music of all types. I have discovered sooo much music. You are so correct in that a lot of us were limited to what we heard on the radio...and what the DJ liked. Congrats on your d... | |

Without an input on the HAP, I'd need a separate DAC for Pandora and Rhapsody. I have to buy a separate DAC, I'd have to pass on the HAP... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers .I would enter Carver and Sunfire into this list, but for some reason, I believe that Bob Carver will have at least one more resurrection.. | |

| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 .Brownsfan, if Dan includes a digital input on his HAPZ1 mod, it would be a no-brainer purchase for me....it's the one-box solution that I'm looking for.. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 .Finsup, thanks for the update. If the Sony is a marketing success, the natural evolution of the machine will be for it to have inputs and to also function as a DAC....now that would be something.. |
