Pioneer N-30 review: Pioneer N-30

 

Pioneer N-30

The ; certainly looks like a $500 item, with a solid build and a stylish remote. Its sound quality is a clear head and shoulders above entry-level media players. iPhone control is free.

The 2.5-inch screen is too small and the flawed smartphone app doesn't do much to make up for it. Adding wireless adds a hefty $150 to the bill. You may find that the onboard sound of your receiver is every bit as good as the Pioneer's analog outs.

As the first "affordable" hi-fi streamer, the Pioneer N-30 puts on a good performance, but the controls could be so much easier to use.

Pioneer N-30AE review

 

Simple to use, and nice features, but this Pioneer streamer won't grab your attention

Plenty of features ; Ease of use ; Display is useful

Uninspiring sound

A competent music streamer in many ways, but one that fails to inspire

Pioneer N30 Network Audio Player Review,Price in India

 

Pioneer N-30 Network Audio Player uses the Ethernet port to download music and you will need to spend another $150 for the proprietary wireless adaptor. Bluetooth is optional too and costs an additional $99

With features like free iphone control, pretty good sound quality, solid build, stylish remote and sleek looks, Pioneer N 30 gives you quite a good performance for a just about affordable media player. The competition for the Pioneer N-30 Network Audio...

Right Tool for the Job

 

I was looking for an easy way to stream from my phone and to use services like Spotify and Tidal. The interface to set up the WiFi was fairly crude but once connected it works really well for AirPlay, CromeCast and with Spotify and Tidal. I haven't...

Great Device

 

Had mine delivered today from the Belfast store. As always the service is top notch from the lads. This is a fantastic item. You can add Tidal directly to the streamer and then have an almost infinite supply music at the touch of the remote. HiRes...

Wish I’d bought it sooner!

 

Running this through an old NAD amp- it is an excellent addition to my system. Sounds great and will stream pretty much anything- great bit of kit!

First impressions are certainly favourablet.

 

This technology is new to me, and I have not yet become familiar with its full range of capabilities. However, what I have achieved with it has exceeded my expectations, vague though they were. As a receiver for UK radio stations I cannot fault it, and...
