New ModWright Mod for the Sony HAP-Z1ES

Mitch, thread started with day 1 and 2 experiences. Should appear shortly.

It appears the Sony is not capable of playing from popular streaming services like Pandora, Spotify, MOG, etc. Only an internet radio tuner. True? If so, a deal breaker for me and probably many others.

Mtuong, I can't tell you for sure, but if there is a way to connect with anything other than the stations provided it is not obvious to me at this time. A call to the Sony would get you a fast and definitive answer.
I don't use Pandora etc, so for me this is a non issue. I know these services are extremely popular, so I don't doubt that the ability to utilize those services would be an attractive feature for many people.

The unit does not play Rhapsody, Pandora, Spotify, MOG or any similar services.

brownsfan,
 I am considering an upgrade to my HAP-Z1ES purchased Jan 2017.  Would you upgrade your HAP-Z1ES again knowing what you know now?
