Sony has announced six new high-resolution audio products
aimed at faithfully reproducing each nuance of today’s finest reference-quality
recordings, says the electronics giant. The new line-up includes two HDD audio
players, a USB DAC amplifier, an integrated stereo amplifier and two stand
mount loudspeaker models.
The HAP-Z1ES
The HAP-Z1ES is the flagship HDD Audio Player, costing $3,213.41,
with a 1TB hard drive for music files that can be transferred – wirelessly or
via a cable connection – from your PC or Mac using the HAP Music Transfer
application. The matching TA-A1ES integrated stereo amplifier, also costing $3,213.41,
offers a claimed 80W per channel power output and is built with
audiophile-grade components and a highly rigid chassis to cut
electro-mechanical vibration, Sony claims.
The HAP-S1 compact HDD audio player system (unit shown
below) is a one-box integrated alternative to the flagship HAP-Z1ES/TA-A1ES
separates and combines a 500GB HDD player with a 40W per channel output
amplifier. It costs $1,284.40.
The HAP-S1 compact
HDD audio player system
The UDA-1 USB DAC amplifier, costing $802.15, is geared for
desktop streaming of computer audio and will be available from mid-October.
Two speaker models featuring a newly developed double super
tweeter are set to join the ranks. The SS-HA1 will cost $803.75 when it goes on
sale in November, and SS-HA3 pricing will be confirmed when it’s launched
later.
