Pioneer XDP-100R review: This polished and flexible high-resolution audio player is loaded with features

 

Pioneer is destined to make a splash with its first high-resolution digital audio (DAP), the XDP-100R ($699 and available at Amazon). While it wasn't the sweetest sounding player in our roundup, its slick user interface, rich feature set (including...

Beautiful and fluid user interface ; Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and access to lots of streaming services ; MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) support

Large and bulky ; Some will find the myriad options overwhelming ; Not the friendliest device for Mac users

Pioneer's XDP-100R is a polished, flexible, and sweet-sounding high-res audio player with loads of modern features. Its only major drawback is its bulky size.

Review: Pioneer XDP-100R-S puts hi-res audio in your pocket

 

Playing high-definition audio on a standard player is a bit like playing a state-of-the-art 1950s vinyl stereophonic record on a wind up Victrola – you can do it, but it just won't be the same as on the Hi-Fi. In an effort to create a portable player...

Some people claim that it isn't possible to tell the difference between high-definition files and conventional ones. Others say that the difference is obvious and the equipment needs to address this. Still others say it doesn't matter because the...

Pioneer XDP-100R review

 

The tantalising prospect of high-res streaming in a portable player

Great HRA sound ; Good battery life ; Full Android system ; MQA potential ; Volume output issues fixed

Divisive design ; A little pricey

The XDP-100R is an impressive bit of kit. It's not the best-sounding HRA player on the market, nor the most powerful, but it is the most convenient and versatile one we've ever used – and with the prospect of dedicated MQA support on the horizon it's...

Pioneer XDP-100R review: This polished and flexible high-resolution audio player is loaded with features

 

Pioneer's great-sounding, feature rich, Android-based player's only major drawbacks are its lack of MacOS support and its bulky size.

Great performance ; Great features ; Slick interface

A bit large

Dragging and dropping songs from a Mac to the microSD card revealed system-level files that should have remained hidden.
