Our take on the Sony HAP-Z1ES by Crutchfield's There can be lots of moving parts to coordinate when setting up a computer-driven music system. But it can really pay off when you're listening to gorgeous-sounding. Fortunately, Sony has done most of the hard work for you in designing their HAP-Z1ES. It's a high-resolution digital music player with a 1TB hard drive built in.
So it stores, plays, and decodes all your digital tunes, from MP3s all the way up to lossless FLAC and DSD files. Connect this player to your amplifier or receiver, load up your digital collection, and revel in the ease at which your entire library is at your fingertips and how rich and detailed it all sounds. Oh, and it even has Spotify Connect so you can listen to online music from your Spotify Premium account. Digital audio done right, with ease There can be lots of moving parts to coordinate when setting up a computer-driven music system. But it can really pay off when you're listening to gorgeous-sounding. Fortunately, Sony has done most of the hard work for you in designing their HAP-Z1ES.
It's a high-resolution digital music player with a 1TB hard drive built in. So it stores, plays, and decodes all your digital tunes, from MP3s all the way up to lossless FLAC and DSD files. Connect this player to your amplifier or receiver, load up your digital collection, and revel in the ease at which your entire library is at your fingertips and how rich and detailed it all sounds.
Oh, and it even has Spotify Connect so you can listen to online music from your Spotify Premium account. Join the high-res revolution Digital music has come a long way from the early days of iTunes and Napster. Low bitrate MP3s evolved into lossless formats with 16-bit/44.1 kHz resolution that are on an equal sonic footing with CDs.
Even better, there's been an explosion of high-resolution files available for download on sites like and others. These files, with resolution up to 24-bit/192kHz, exceed the sonic limitations of CDs. High-res tunes can make familiar songs sound new again while also showing off your equipment's potential. Not only does the HAP-Z1ES deliver high-res files in their native resolution, it also uses Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine to flesh out the sound of MP3s and other low-res files. ' In overall sonics and build-value for the dollar, the Sony HAP-Z1ES sets new standards.
For audiophiles and music lovers who want to listen to high-quality digital music files without the hassles of keeping another computer working optimally, the HAP-Z1ES is an attractively priced, yet fully featured option. It also doesn't hurt that its control interfaces are easy to use and unintimidating even for non-techy users. Its sound quality was such that it rivals comparably priced standalone DACs, yet delivers more functionality and won't be made obsolete by the latest USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt interfaces since it uses Ethernet and Wi-Fi as input connections. ' — From Steven Stone's review in The Absolute Sound, February 14, 2014.
DSD capability takes digital music even higher The HAP-Z1ES takes digital music a step further, with support for Direct Stream Digital, or DSD, a Sony-developed format first used in Super Audio CD. These high-resolution files offer sound that, for many listeners, is closer to analog than digital has ever come. Plus, this player's DSD remastering engine can convert all audio signals to DSD, for a stronger sense of sonic depth and warmth with all your digital files.
DSD capability makes the HAP-Z1ES a unique, one-box solution for storing, playing, and decoding DSD files, at a price that's more than competitive. With more record labels, including Sony Music, rolling out DSD downloads, this player is a great option for diving into this exciting format. Effortlessly search your collection on the HAP-Z1ES with the free HDD Audio remote app on your phone or tablet. 1 terabyte of built-in storage Computer audio is very simple — as long as your computer is situated right next to your stereo. But that setup doesn't work for everyone. That's why Sony built a 1TB hard disk drive into the HAP-Z1ES.
Worried you'll need more space? You can expand the memory by adding an external hard drive and connecting it to this player's rear-panel USB port. Once you're ready to start moving your music to the player's hard drive, connect the player to your home network via Ethernet and download the free music transfer software to your computer. It's the easiest way to get large digital music collections onto the HAP-Z1ES. With your digital music library on board, you can enjoy all your tunes without connecting your computer or configuring a wireless streaming system. Built for superior sound This player is about more than just easy access to your digital music collection.
It's designed to make it sound its best. The high-performance digital-to-analog converter can handle most high-resolution formats. Independent digital and analog circuits with separate power supplies reduce digital noise and improve clarity.
All components are solidly mounted in the rigid chassis, which is reinforced with internal framing to further minimize vibration and distortion. The resulting clean sound reveals more details in your music. Send this pure signal along to an integrated amp like the Sony TA-A1ES through the balanced XLR outputs or use the RCA outputs with any amp or receiver. Easy to get started The HAP-Z1ES is very easy to set up and use, especially compared to configuring a computer-based music server. One of this player's best features is the 4.3-inch LCD monitor on the front panel.
Not only does it display album art and song info for your stored music files, it also makes it easy to navigate menu options. There's also a free remote app for Apple and Android devices — it's the easiest way to search your library and select tunes for playback.
Music Sources 1TB Hard Disc Drive (HDD): The Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Audio Player features a built-in 1TB Hard Disc Drive (HDD) which allows you to transfer and store high-resolution audio files (such as DSD) and various other formats of music files (such as MP3 and FLAC) from your computer to the Sony HAP-Z1ES, as well as CD ripping from an external USB disk drive. The HDD Audio Player can handle up to 40,000 music files. You can also connect an external hard disk drive via USB to the EXT port on the rear-panel of the HAP-Z1ES for additional storage space. The music files transferred from your computer to the external hard disk drive can be played in the same way as music files stored in the internal hard disk drive of the unit.
You are able to view the status of the internal or external HDD. Capacity: The total capacity of the hard disk drive is displayed. Used: The used space of the hard disk drive is displayed. The used space in the hard disk drive will not be 0GB even when you have not transferred any files, because the pre-installed sample tracks and the system use some space in the hard disk drive. Free: The free space of the hard disk drive is displayed. Note: You can only connect one external HDD at a time to the system's EXT port (you cannot connect a USB hub).
A connected external hard disk drive that has been formatted by the HAP-Z1ES cannot be recognized by a computer. Always keep backup music files on your computer. Network Connectivity: You can transfer music files from your computer to the Sony HAP-Z1ES by connecting both to the same home network, either by a wired or wireless connection. The HAP-Z1ES is fitted with a Ethernet (RJ-45) port for a wired connection and features built-in WiFi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) for wireless connectivity. By connecting the unit to your home network you are able to transfer music files from your computer to the HAP-Z1ES. The following system environment is required to use the network function of this receiver.
Broadband Line Connection: A Broadband line connection to the Internet is required in order to listen to select online music services. Modem: This is the device that is connected to the broadband line to communicate with the Internet. Some of these devices are integrated with the router. Router: Use a router compatible with 100 Mbps or greater transmission speed to enjoy content on your home network.
802.11 b/g/n compatible wireless router for WiFi connection (2.4GHz only). LAN Cable (CAT5): A LAN cable (CAT5) is required for hardwired connection.
WiFi Security: None, WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK (AES), or WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP). Notes: Sony recommends using a wired LAN connection when you transfer a large number of music files from your computer to the HAP-Z1ES, such as when you transfer music files for the first time. HAP Music Transfer: is a free downloadable application that transfers music files stored in your Windows or Mac computer to the Sony HDD Audio Player. In addition to widely used file formats (such as MP3), HAP Music Transfer allows you to transfer non-compressed and High-Resolution Audio files such as 192kHz/24-bit and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) file formats.
You can select multiple folders (up to 100) in which music files are saved on your computer, and then transfer them in a batch to the HAP-Z1ES. If you turn on the automatic transfer function, your computer will automatically start transferring music files to the HAP-Z1ES when new music files are added to the designated folder on your computer; this can also be done manually. You can also use this application to delete music files from the device. Note: The HAP Music Transfer application is supported by Windows XP (32-bit/SP3+), Vista (SP2+), 7 (SP1+), 8, and 10.
It is also compatible Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. The Sony HAP-Z1ES must be connected to the same network as your Windows or Mac computer. Supported Audio Formats: The Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Audio Player supports the transfer and storage of the following high-definition and standard-definition music files (2ch only) that are stored and managed on your Windows or Mac computer. Does exactly what I want it to do, sound quality was of the greatest importance.
People who were turned off by other aspects of the unit such as no Tidal streaming or slow load times still gave the unit high regards for sound quality. harold Sep 25, 2018 I've researched this item extensively, it gets great reviews.
Will be used to play my collection of loseless flac's and other hi-res music purchased online. Steve Aug 17, 2017 Excellent reviews. Prefer DSD over PCM. Michael Mar 22, 2017 Want to put about 1000 CDs on an this Sony audio server and get rid of 2 Sony carousel players that are 10 years old.
Robert Jan 27, 2017 16 questions already asked. As Robert indicated above, the Sony HAP-Z1ES doesn't have any sort of video output; however album art, track name, artist name, and album name of your current music file can be viewed on the front panel LCD screen, or via the app downloaded to your iOS and/or Android device.
For more details or to discuss further, please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Larry Sep 12, 2018 Staff No it does not. However the app that can be downloaded to an iPad or tablet is very useful and provides a nice visual. Robert Sep 12, 2018. In this case the Sony HAP-Z1ES doesn't offer built-in support for TIDAL. However, it does allow you to access TuneIn internet radio & Spotify Connect online music service. For more details or to discuss further please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat.
Larry Sep 12, 2018 Staff I didn't see any mention of tidal in the documentation (Spotify and TuneIn are mentioned) and have read in old posting on various forums that it is not supported. Scott Sep 12, 2018.
Update on Spotify Premium sound quality on HAP-Z1ES. Spotify Premium may not be high resolution but is definitely better quality audio than MP3.
I can hear the difference with some high resolution downloads (Beck's Colors) but not others (Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily). Steve Jan 08, 2019 I created a Spotify Premium account on Jan 5, 2019 and can stream high resolution (HDD) music on the HAP-Z1ES now. There was a firmware upgrade released Oct 2018 that should be installed. The HAP-Z1ES also connects to TuneIn but I have not found any high resolution streaming channel with that service yet. Steve Jan 06, 2019 from reading other reviews this does not stream hires yet. Maybe sony has a plan for that but i have not read that Bert Aug 28, 2018 I think it can connect to another streaming service, but it's not hi-res either. I only use mine to store my digital files and play from it directly.
Sorry I'm not much help with streaming music from this device. Brian Aug 28, 2018 The available streaming sources are Spotify and Tunein. I haven't explored either one very much.
I'm still working on loading albums and cd's to the hard drive. Aug 28, 2018 To the best of my knowledge, Spotify is all there is.
Very disappointing considering the price of the Hap-Z. Hopefully Spotify will start offering hi-res streaming soon. JOSEPH G Aug 28, 2018. Have you talked to Crutchfield tech support? Paul Dec 11, 2017 From an Internet browser, search for Sony HAP Music Transfer Software. You should see a Help Guide to follow. If the transfer does not work properly after a successful install of HAP Music Transfer, then a set of troubleshooting steps can to be followed and are described in the guide.
There is also a chat window for support. Steve Dec 10, 2017 Are you on a Mac or PC? Are you using iTunes to put your CDs on the computer? Paul Dec 09, 2017 Try browsing to the HAP-Z1ES in Windows explorer instead of using the Sony software. Steve Dec 09, 2017 Encountered same problem and gave up on Sony's software.
Assuming the files are on your PC open File Explorer (windows) drag and drop to HAPInternal. Much simpler. Enjoy your music. DAVID Dec 09, 2017. I connected my Apple SuperDrive and it works perfectly. It powers the device and copies the CD's with no issues. I believe according to the Sony manual, any USB powered CD player should work.
ARC Oct 15, 2017 To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't have to be a sony player. I have a Mac portable disc drive connected to mine,and i rip cd's onto my unit often. Ken Oct 15, 2017 I ripped my cd's to my laptop, then used the Ethernet cable to download the songs to the HapZ. I would recommend that rip your cd's with the AIFF format before downloading them to the HAPZ. The AIFF format gives you a truly superior sound quality. JOSEPH G Oct 14, 2017 No. Any powered usb CD player/burner will work but it is a slow process compared to ripping the cd into iTunes or some other app and then transferring the files Paul Oct 14, 2017 A firmware update was released that enables ripping directly to HDD.
While I have not used the feature, my research lead me to believe it works with any external USB drive. Steve Oct 14, 2017 The USB port is for connecting an optical drive to transfer your CDs directly to the HAP-Z1ES. Acoustic Sounds recommends the OWC Mercury Pro. Any good quality optical drive should work.
I use the Mercury Pro and get excellent results. Steve Oct 14, 2017 I believe any USB CD drive will work. I have not used that feature, and I'm not sure why I would want to.
The concept behind this product is that you build and manage your music library on your computer, then transfer the library to the Sony. This has two advantages.
First, I find it much easier to do the ripping at my desk with the computer. This allows me to review and correct the tagging metadata, which I find important. Second, by definition, with this method you have a backup of your music library. Ripping a large CD library is very time consuming, and I would not want to be without a backup of all that work. My initial rips are stored on an external 4TB USB hard drive attached to my computer. The files are then transferred to the internal drive of the Sony.
Having the files in both locations provides a backup, since files can be transferred in both directions. Russell Oct 14, 2017. I feel it's an upgrade, from my SACD, CD, and mp3 collection to put them into the Sony in a digital format it's easier to find and play what you want without having to manually go through your collection. Everything the other users reported above is true as well. Brian Aug 11, 2017 I've had the HAP-Z for a couple years and still love the sound of everything I've thrown in there.
The upgrading of sound of mp3 is striking. Mostly I play FLAC and DSD. The sound is excellent and even more so since I switched from a Peachtree amp using unbalanced to Parasound using balanced. Ease of access is excellent. The work is in ripping the music, but once it is done, it is done.
I highly recommend this product. DOUGLAS Aug 10, 2017 i would not say downgrading.
I owned SACD and those disks were always the best sounding in my collection by far. One good listen of a.dsd version played through this brilliant machine will convince you. Other formats, aka high resolution sound, are better as well, but the.dsd stands above all of them. I have playlists of different songs and when a.dsd version plays it sends you scrambling for the volume control. The HDD Audio app is great and definitely offers ease of access.
I find it flawless. Bert Aug 09, 2017 This is a high end media player. I purchased it after my Sony SCD-1 stopped working. After the SCD-1 was repaired I was able to compare. The HAP-Z1ES is a contender but the SCD-1 sounds more robust. I am still happy I purchased the HAP-Z1ES and plan to download more high resolution files.
It may not out perform your Esoteric SACD player but it is more than for casual listening. Steve Aug 09, 2017 Certainly there is great convenience for casual listening, but the HAP-Z1ES also holds up quite well to serious active listening, as well. It's simply a function of the quality of the audio files you upload to it. It will play anything from the crappiest mp3s to hi-res files, including DSD files, which will soud at least as good as your SACDs. Sony built this with excellent circuitry, and the sound quality is superb.
I can't imagine ever considering at a downgrade at ant metric you wish to choose. There are many reviews available online (including Crutchfield's) and they are unanimous in their praise for the sound quality of the HAP-Z1ES. Russell Aug 09, 2017 Hello Paul J, I would guess it would be a upgrade. The technology that Sony uses improves the data as its being copied and played back. I have one highend audio store in my area and the recommended this unit. I have copied more the 4 thousand songs and I really like the ease of access and the options I have.
I do purchase through Crutchfield as there support and pricing is very good. Go listen to the unit if you can! Mark Aug 09, 2017. The 1TB internal drive is a spinning-disk type. It is basically a laptop drive. The transfer rates are slow, especially for large music libraries.
I have all the source music on external drives and have them in the event of a Z1ES crash. Richard Jul 05, 2016 I believe it is a solid state HD. It starts virtually instantly when the unit is booted up and I other than a momentary click on startup the unit is silent.
It's a wonderful device. Jonathan Jul 04, 2016 It is a regular spinning-disk drive, not a SSD drive.
You will not be able to hear it. Backup is handled via your computer. In order to put music on the HAP-Z1ES, it must first reside on your computer.
You then copy it to the Sony using a wireless or ethernet connection. If you back up your computer, the music will reside in three places-on the computer, on the computer backup disk and on the HAP-Z1ES. Andrew Jul 04, 2016 In over a year I've never heard it once, so I'd assume it's SSD. Because I transfer the music from my computer it's on there for one, and backed up from there. ERIK Jul 04, 2016 Spinning.

1TB solid state would be crazy expensive. No you can't hear it.
My music is all on my iMac. I copy it to the HAPZ.
I then back that up to my Time Capsule as well as to a cloud based storage. You want to have multiple back up when you have many thousands of dollars of music in digital format. DOUGLAS Jul 04, 2016 Spinning disk (I think). Dead quiet (I have 2 of these).
I back mine up on a portable Hard drive. These units are AWESOME. I have been very impressed with it.
Michael Jul 04, 2016 1) Spinning 2) I can't hear a thing 3) Mirror your HAP archive with redundant hard drives. ALAN Jul 04, 2016 Spinning. It makes a slight sound. It's pretty quite, but you can hear it slightly if within 4-5 feet. There's also a fan in the unit, which is also very quiet. Both of these sounds can only be heard in a quiet room when you're close.
It's not loud enough to hear when you have the music on. You would normally keep the music files on your computer and transferred them the Sony. They're supposed to be kept in sync. When you get any new music you put them on your computer and it will then transfer to the Sony.
So the primary storage is you computer and any backup would be done from there. There is a port to hook up an external drive but there is no mechanism in the UI to perform backups.
From your computer, you can access the internal drive via the network and manually back up the files to an another drive (attached or networked), but that is not the normal method. Walter Jul 03, 2016. Terry, I think that the mac mini, combined with a high quality DAC would be a good alternative. The sound quality from the HAP is tremendous when handling many audio formats. I mostly listen to FLAC files, but MP3-320 encoded files sound great as well.
My only issue with the player is the unbelievable time it takes to transfer application to get music files from your PC to the unit and keeping everything in sync. The most frustrating part is that you can add a USB hard drive as a secondary source (I am using a 4GB), but it must be formatted by the Sony which uses Linux. It would be a great improvement if you could copy audio files directly to the external HD and have the unit recognize them.
Richard Apr 27, 2016 I don't have any info on the mac mini. Mark Apr 13, 2016 A turn-key music server.
No DAC required. More visually elegant. A much easier way to control the system with Sony's smart phone / tablet software and finally the DSD engine for better sound quality. DOUGLAS Apr 13, 2016.
If I understand your question(s) correctly, it calls for an answer in two parts: first, from my experience you can only create playlists on the device itself by using the app, not by importing them from another source. Any playlists I created elsewhere do not appear on the HAP. Second, I load my music files from a computer in my home over my wifi network, which works well, but the HAP will also allow you to import music files directly from a drive via the USB port on the back of the device. Music loaded from my computer does not need to go through the internet as I have many CD's I have ripped and loaded into either my iTunes folder or Amazon Music folder which are all stored in the 'Music' file on my computer. I hope that answered your questions.
Jonathan Mar 11, 2016 I'm sorry for the delay responding. From my experience, playlists created from external files will not be imported to the HAP. After importing my music from any source I create a playlist within the app for HAP. As far as I can see these are the only playlists the HAP recognizes. In other words, if you want playlists you will have to create them within the HAP app. I hope that helps. Jonathan Mar 11, 2016 You create the playlist on your phone or iPad.
It communicates with your home network and creates the playlist on the unit. You do not need the internet to load the computer. It can be done wirelessly via your home network or you can plug the server directly into your computer. Suprisingly, I found it faster to go wireless than direct line. I don't know about the jump drive. Didn't try that.
DOUGLAS Mar 10, 2016 Playlists are created from the remote user interface app (tablet or phone). You can download it from Android or Apple store and try it out without having the unit. These apps are the only way to create and edit playlists. Your music files must be on the unit before you can create playlists. The playlists remain cataloged in a hidden database on the internal HD and are not accessible to copy, backup, or move. Using the app you can transfer music files that exist on your tablet or phone.
But there is no way to copy files from jump drive to the internal hard drive using the app or the unit itself. However, you can manually transfer files from your computer because the device acts just like any other storage device connected to your local network. You can copy files from a jump drive, but you'd have to do it using your computer. The files transfer on your local network so the Internet is not part of it. Walter Mar 10, 2016 You can enter a playlist either on the device or via the remote control software.
You cannot load music via a USB drive. You can only load music from a computer, either wirelessly via a wi-fi home network or via ethernet cables. Andrew Mar 10, 2016 You can create playlists from the remote smartphone app. That's the only way you Mohave found to do it. And yes, all the music is uploaded on the net. You can add storage with a hard drive, but not just plug one in with pre installed music files.
ERIK Mar 10, 2016 Playlists can be easily made using the mobile application that you can use on your iPhone or iPad and Android device. The device has a 1GB internal hard drive and a USB port that allows for second hard drive.
Music can be added by copying files from your computer or, and this is a new feature, by ripping from CD's. Sony has a PC and MAC application that you dowload to manage the transfers.
Please note, it is a very, very slow process, even if you have a fairly robust network connection. Unlike streaming songs, files are actually written to the hard drive on the unit. Unfortunately you cannot connect the hard drive directly to your computer, copy files, and attach to the Sony unit. They use a Linux system to format the drive and the Sony will want to format the drive erasing what you put on it.
Aside from these technical obstacles, the unit is solid. Richard Mar 09, 2016 You can create playlists from the controller apps for your phone or tablet. As far as music transfer, you cannot plug the jump drive or the computer directly into the unit. Music transfer must be from a network. Either ethernet connection or wifi. CHARLES Mar 09, 2016.
The HAP Music Transfer software lets you select which file extensions you want to transfer, such as.aif, mp3, dsf,.flac, etc. One of the 14 options in this list is.oma. So that implies that the unit can play that file type. Walter Mar 10, 2016 I would like to be able to give a concrete answer to this question but I have not transferred any ATRAC files to the HAP player. However, what I have found in the 2-3 months I have owned the HAP is that any files that I ripped gapless originally will play gapless on the HAP following transfer, whereas if I neglected to rip, for example, a live CD, in gapless mode it will transfer with the gaps and play back with gaps. If I then rip the same CD being careful to set my computer to gapless it will transfer perfectly and play back gapless on the HAP.
![]()
In view of the many formats the HAP is capable of accepting and playing, I cannot imagine that ATRAC will not transfer and play as you want. Personally, I leave the HAP set to DSEE and usse all of the most precise, high quality settings, leaving the gapless setting on. BTW, I absolutely love my HAP-Z1ES; I have never enjoyed listening to music at home more. I hope this response is at least somewhat helpful.
Jonathan Dec 29, 2015. Yes, I believe it is, although I'm not even close to using up the sony's capacity. Aug 13, 2015 The built-in 1TB hard drive is designed to house even the biggest music collection. However, if you need to boost your storage space it's easy: simply connect an external hard drive to the HDD Audio Player via USB and you're ready to go. Daniel Aug 12, 2015 Internal HDD: Yes (1TB) Gracenote: Yes Gapless Playback: Yes External HDD: Yes (Rear USB) (optional) Metadata Generation / Acquisition: Yes Pre-install Contents: Yes [email protected] Aug 12, 2015 Yes. Through a USB connection. However the drive must be reformatted by the HAP-ZIES interface before you can use it.
BLAIR Aug 12, 2015 It has a USB port for this purpose, and claims that it '.has the ability to use external USB drives for additional storage.' (from a review of the Hap-Z1ES on The Absolute Sound's site) David Aug 12, 2015 Yes, you can add a hard drive via USB input in the back of the unit. Note however that Sony says the machine works best with up to 20,000 tracks. If you load up an external drive, and go substantially over 20,000 tracks, you may have database problems.
James Aug 12, 2015 Yes, you can add a single USB drive. The problem that you run into is that the transfer rate is extremely slow from a PC to the device. The problem is that the HAP formats the drive using a Unix file system that cannot be read directly on the PC. It's a GREAT digital player in all other functions. Richard Aug 12, 2015 Yes KEVIN Aug 12, 2015 yes, although I have never had to add one. Robert Aug 12, 2015 Yes. Read the manual for more information regarding limits on total number of files and special formatting required for this drive.
ALAN Aug 12, 2015. I had a similar reason for purchasing this item. I found, however, that my Yamaha CD N500 CD player sounded so much better when playing FLAC CDs. In fact, I found the sound from this Sony product lacking altogether.
I returned it. Although it does not have an internal hard drive, I have since purchased the Marantz NA8005 Audio Player which is also capable of playing back DSD files. I am much happier with the Marantz for less than 1/2 the price (disciunted) of the Sony. Better sound quality too! William Jan 06, 2016 That will certainly work and it's most likely what this device was created for. MICHAEL T Mar 19, 2014 You could certainly use this to replace your CD carousel. You would need to rip the CDs to a computer, and then you can transfer them to the built in hard drive on the Z1ES.
