I have read that the SP2000 doesn't sound as "technically" good as the Hugo 2? Have you done a side-by-side comparison of the CA1000 and Hugo 2? And have you heard the SP2000?
No and no.

I hope that they have solved the issue of lost Internet connection after several minutes with this item? A real pain with the Alpha which was never resolved successfully. I believe the issue is still ongoing for the Alpha…..

Is that ‘Player’ permanently attached? Or is it ‘plumbed’ in?

Sadly not, at least 2,4 GHz wifi.

Interesting.....

Basically an AK version of the portable DAC/AMP from Sony.

Didn't heard Sony device but CA1000 can be substituted for desktop DAC/AMP.

With the DMP-Z1, I guess sony proved that an all in ones have a market in audiphilia, with all the recent releases of similar devices within various price bracket also of varying sizes and capabilities.
It'd be interesting to see what else these "smart DAC/AMP" segment can do in the future.
