Home Hi-Fi streamer system missing from Sony product range

There seems to be a gaping hole in Sony's home Hi-Fi line up.

If you view Audio Hi-Res products on the website there is a header picture of a HAP-Z1ES which was around about 6 years ago but now discontinued. There is nothing else in the Sony range that is a home Hi-Fi streaming system.

I'm talking of something along the lines of a Naim Uniti Atom or Uniti Star.

Something that allows streaming of music from a PC via Wi-Fi or over the internet from a content provider such as Tidal, Qobuz etc and able to output to high-end wired speakers or cast to a wireless speaker system or soundbar.

I was trying to feed this back to Sony but their web-form doesn't lend itself to this.

If a moderator has an inside track to Sony UK, perhaps they could pass this on.

You don't need the form, you can give them a ring or chat to one of their agents here if you want to leave some feedback.

This time you don't have to, I just did so on your behalf.

Cheers and happy new year my friend! ^^

Interestingly I watched the online CES Sony presentation and there was no mention about upcoming products in the area.

Cambridge Audio have got very good products in this part of the hi-fi market.

The Evo 75 and Evo150 which are both better equiped than the Naim Uniti Atom for less money. Still expensive.

Panasonic have now entered the ring with the SA-PMX802 at the budget end of the market which also appears to have good functionality for around £500.

Denon also have somthing for around this price mark.

Come on Sony. You have some very good hi-fi products but nothing in this part of the market.
