Connectivity Issues
Giftsuxyftxtcucivknicrzr
I absolutely love my HAP Z1-ES and enjoy the remote app...when it works. It’s a great app with an intuitive interface, but has not been connecting to the player with increasing frequency. Sometimes in connects and then when you try to change songs or artists it can’t find the deck and won’t reconnect - forcing me to walk to the HAP Z1-ES to change selections. Super irritating. I have generally really appreciated Sony products over the years but this app has a fatal flaw. Shocking that Sony has not addressed the issue.
Worked well for a while...now seems fixed

Worked pretty well for a while , but now won’t connect to the player and is useless. At least it worked long enough for me to load my library and select a bunch of favorites. Still, very frustrating. Update: app started to work again this morning after taking “a day off.” One more star for coming back to work! Has been stable for a long time now, so that’s great. Considering the competition, this app is actually pretty good.
Junk

A great player that was designed with a useless UI. So one would think that the app was designed to be the critical interface. Unfortunately the app is super unreliable and connectivity is dodgy at best. Build a decent WiFi connection or a reliable app. The great player is mostly useless as a result
Inconsistent

In most places, it uses the track title from the ID3 tag, but in the play queue, it uses the file name, truncated at a certain number of characters. So I am looking at my play queue and all I see is “Moscow Symphony Orc” all the way down the screen. It should be using the track title, but given how slap-dash the whole experience is with this player, I am not surprised.
Window Prompts

On several of the window prompts, to confirm certain actions, for example, you cannot see the graphics for “Yes” and “No.”
App needs to reconnect ALL THE TIME

Hard to use this app with the HAP Z1-ES... it is constantly needing to Reconnect. Can Sony figure out how to keep it connected while the app is running? As al alternative to the HDD Player and HAP Z1-ES, I use Roon, and it tales less than 1/8 of a sec to reconnect. The HDD take almost 5 seconds to connect. Digital audio is a pain-in-the-butt, and the HDD and HAP-Z1ES was suppose to fix that....
Old version better
HAP junkie
This new version of HDD Audio is terrible, the old version worked great. This one won’t connect to HAP-S1 player. The player itself is wonderful but this remote access is bad
Works great

Works perfect to me , however my only complaint is to see more music services available like Qobuz or Tidal
Sony, you keep screwing up the app and the player

I have a PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC, and ONLY 18033R worked with the USB output Now, SONY upgraded the remote application, and it only now works with 18444R+ So, I either have no remote, or no USB output NOTE: 18444, which is suppose to fix USB output to certain devices, DOESN'T work with my 2016 PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC. This all worked yesterday.
