Hear your music at its best

Whether High-Resolution Audio, CDs or MP3s - listen to your music in the highest possible sound quality. The HAP-S1 supports High-Resolution Audio formats such as DSD, FLAC, WAV and ALAC, as well as formats like MP3, iTunes AAC, ATRAC and Windows WMA - restoring their quality closer to that of the original.

How High-Resolution Audio works

Listen like you're in the recording studio

High-Resolution Audio works by converting analogue sound to digital at a higher and more precise rate than CDs. High-Resolution Audio can have a rate of 24bit/96Hz, capturing more of the details and subtleties in your music. Hear your tracks exactly as they were recorded with no compromise on sound.

DSEE
Restore all your compressed files

The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) upscales your compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC and WMA) close to CD quality. By restoring the high-range sound lost in the compression process, DSEE produces your digital music files in rich, natural sound, closer to the quality of the original recording.
