Around back there’s coax, Toslink and async USB digital which turns the Pioneer into a quasi external soundcard whence the computer is used to access the files via a media player of choice rather than the network. To this the machine adds four digital sources. With a live web connection that’s how the N-50 also accesses Internet radio stations. Want to hear files on your computer or NAS? Leash up the Pioneer N-50 via RJ45 Ethernet cable to a spare port on your Internet router. The N-30’s focus is on streaming-wired but for €70 extra it's available wireless with WLAN, for €35 extra with Bluetooth-whilst the N-50 wants to also frolic in the currently super-busy DAC pool to add relevant socketry and features. The N-30 and N-50 diverge in circuit and mechanical details but also in connectivity, i.e. Loudspeakers: Neat Momentum 4i, DIY Fostex F120A widebander, Nubert nuBox 101 with AW 441 subwooferĬables: AVI Deep Blue interconnect, Kimber 4 VS LS speaker cableĮlectronics house Pioneer covers the network player segment with two models of specific appeal.
