I was looking forward to mora qualitas and possible integration with this player but it's now delayed until the fall
Hi All. It seems it's been a number of years since anyone has posted here. I'm curious if my Sony SA-Z1 speakers will sound noticeably better fed by the HAP-Z1ES with a balanced cable, than if it's fed by (the local files on) my late-2015 iMac connected to the speakers with an optical cable? I have my music on the iMac going through Roon's parametric EQ which I enjoy. I haven't ever worked with balanced cables and so am unclear what the benefits would be here in this case. Any thoughts would be appreciated, and particularly from those with the SA-Z1.
Ah, okay, thank you. So the HAP doesn’t sound necessary for my purpose.I doubt HAP-Z1ES is NOT a true differentiated balance therefore no different from RCA.
