Sony UK website has had a big purge of quality audio equipment. The TA and Z1R are gone, as are both the 1Z and 1A. Looks like the 70th anniversary signature series has been discontinued...Also see that the HAP-Z1ES server/player has gone.
Sony's audio division is a mess. The most expensive things they now offer are a bizarre £8000 desktop DAP, a £2000 IEM, a £1300 car stereo head unit and a £550 AV receiver. No coherent strategy for customers to buy into. Someone should be fired IMO.
Why can't they put out a line of decent hifi separates like the other big Japanese corporations? With their FPGA DAC technology they could produce some great streamers or amps with built-in DACs. I would've loved to have bought an SACD player which used the DAC from the 1A or TA amp. Missed opportunities.
