As far as I know it does. I have a few sacd's by the kinks on that format and it had no problem playing on the c-7030 I borrowed from an adiophile friend. Am still away on Xmas sabbatical but will check when I return next week or I will try to speak with him beforehand.

Yes it does! This is one powerful deck and all the features described work flawlessly! I use it for archiving vinyl LPs for true analogue reproduction. It will take any commercially available CD-R, CD-RW and Music CD-Rs. And it will play any audio CD format on the market.

The songs are files that (zips) that have to be converted. That' the difficult part. Converting them after you've loaded them to disk. That's where I never could get any support. Good luck.

Yes, the one i have saves the audio files in .wav format. This opens up fine with windows media player, I just tested it.

Manual says it plays MP3s and shows still pictures. Only works with Fat up to Fat32 flash drives, not external Hard drives.

Yes, it can. I don't have any ape files because I rip in either .mp3 or .flac, but everything sounds pretty amazing on this little player. I only use my Shure 840s on them...

I bought it and yes it will play music. the only problem i saw is if you have them in different folders then it wont jump folder to folder.

I have this system and am able to play 24-bit/192KHz flac files through the USB interface just fine (running on linux). I suppose it's possible the software or hardware is downgrading them first but I would have expected no sound at all if the unit really didn't support it.

Yes, it will play from a Fat32 formatted 8GB(max) usb drive stick, with standard mp3's(it will support at max a 256bitrate mp3)

No. It's not a "player device" so file format is not relative to this unit. It is a powered speaker, meaning the power amplifier is built into the unit. Just plug a signal cable (e.g. a 1/4" shielded instrument cable) from the output of your player to the input of this unit. If you're thinking stereo you'll need to get two of these.

itunes doesn't support FLAC - but you can use it to rip your cds to ALAC (Apple Lossless), which is similar to FLAC (ie max quality) and the HAP-S1 will play ALAC files. If you desperately need FLAC then buy dbpoweramp.

Not sure about ape files but definitely flac and apple lossless. Other then dsd files (this can't play) not sure why you would want any other file

Perused the manual under USB media..nothing is mentioned as far as music file formats...

The unit's display does not show any information besides the audio source and a equalizer info. I don't think it can be hacked to display file information. Can't tell you anything about external HD or flac.

the previous answer is correct re iTunes. You need dBpoweramp or similar to convert to FLAC.
