| Does a cheap cd transport create poor digital copies? I’ve used EAC in the past and agree it works well. My Sony z1es has cd import software, and has a error check option that takes about 4x longer.

| Firmware update 18444R for Sony HAP-S1 / HAP-Z1ES The only complaint I’ve had with the Z1es is maintaining a connection (or re-establishing a dropped connection) with the iPhone and iPad remote apps.
