Anyone have the new Sony HAPZ1ES on their radar?

Nice! It's too bad it has a mechanical HD inside. The LCD screen is way too small to see from listening position. Good thing they have a app to manage playback.
 
Looks nice but no USB input. You have to go Ethernet I believe with this unit.
 
Any Sony dealers supporting AS that sell Sony or is it all direct?

I would imagine you wouldn't need to use the internal 1TB if you had everything on a NAS. Also if I'm reading this correctly it replaces the need for a computer with a program like iTunes or JRiver. Correct?

That's what I'm wondering too.
 
I wonder if you can replace the standard HD for a SSD.

Problem I see with doing that is that an SSD with a capacity of 1TB is going to likely cost you as much as the unit did in the first place. And if I was to replace the drive, I'd want bigger, not smaller.
