From the computer USB connection the capability for playing PCM rises to 32-bit/384kHz (it offered to accept 768kHz from our Mac, in fact) and DSD up again to 11.2MHz. So it is the result from some changes by Tidal. I did send them a message yesterday and waiting for reply You understand that a reasonable donation for selling fees is expected upon successful sale of your item Where it leaves all but the most top-notch analogue equipment standing is the bass response. The most notable aspect of this is not the That compromise in out-and-out performance is often the fate of components that are loaded with features.

The Pioneer N-70A is a worthy flagship that builds on its sibling’s feature count and injects greater doses of detail, power and authority into performance.The products display album cover artwork in high resolution together with album, song, or streaming program information on a 3.5-inch LCD screen. The listening experience is enhanced with relevant information and with artwork intended to complement the music in a curated atmosphere. Equipped with Dual-band Wi-Fi® Supporting 5 GHz (11 a/n) and 2.4 GHz (11 b/g/n) I would have loved to hang on to this, but given that Sharp Corporation has bought Onkyo/Pioneer recently, do not know if a firmware upgrade for the Tidal MQA issue is coming anytime soon. For the timebeing, I will continue to listen to the Bluesound Node via the Rotel preamp. (I am sorely tempted to upgrade to the Rotel RC1590mkII which has been released this year and is capable of full MQA unfolding). To apply in store, simply call in to our branch and one of our experienced sales team will guide you through the application. Note, however, that that you can play only up to CD quality, and no DSD at all, if you connect to your network by Wi-Fi. For Wi-Fi you screw on two external antennas, whereas the N-50AE has two fold-up antennas built in. So (as we’d always recommend anyway), give the Pioneer a hard-wired Ethernet connection to your network.

Cambridge’s streamer is also more functional than fancy, although we find it preferable for browsing long libraries. If you have more than one Cambridge streamer in the household, it’s easy to switch between them in the app too. Most of the changes are implemented with a short gap, and proved subtle if discernable at all in action. The upsampling had the most notable effect, seeming to add a bit of edge or presence on the likes of the crunchy guitars of Neil Young’s Walk with Me, although this kind of slight presence effect is often audible when a 44.1kHz file is resampled to 48kHz or vice versa (an iTunes speciality), which we thought might be the effect here if all files really do get upsampled to 384kHz rather than an exact multiple, e.g. 352.8kHz. But a note on Pioneer’s app implies it’s proper ×2 or ×4 upsampling (though it also says you can choose which of those you’d like, without explaining how).

Like all good rivalries, the one between the Pioneer N-70AE and the Cambridge Azur 851N isn’t over in the first round. While these brilliant streamers share a lot of common ground, each sets an example to the other in one area or another. Connect an external HDD via USB, and you can easily listen to your whole music library without using your PC. You can even move files from your PC to the HDD via the home network while the HDD is connected to the N-70AE / N-50AE. That said, the Pioneer has no problem projecting Johnny Cash’s distinctly deep, quivering vocals with enough clarity, focus and insight to send a shudder down your spine. The N-70AE / N-50AE features a 3.5” colour LCD display with a user-friendly GUI. Enjoy viewing the album artwork while listening to the song. Audio features

No MQA logo anymore and only 44,1khz/16 bit. When I use the mconnect app it plays in FLAC high res but still no MQA. I did some searching on the internet and it seems Tidal did alter their MQA files so now it is not recognized anymore by a lot of equipment such as pioneer and arcam Intuitively choose songs from desired streaming services, browse libraries on the device, connected PC, or USB HDD, and smoothly operate the N-70AE using a smartphone or tablet with the free Pioneer Remote App installed. Planned Enhancements to HDD Music Server Functionality Chromecast, Fireconnect and all manner of new media abilities add versatility to Pioneer’s well-priced Atmos-equipped receiver. be it high-res over the network, others that are limited to CD quality or (like Spotify) to below CD quality. You’ll get the most reliable and most highest-res performance either from those USB-connected drives, or across your local network from music shared by UPnP/DLNA from either a PC or a NAS drive, the latter having the benefit of being always available (whereas music on a PC disappears when the PC is off or sleeping). From such shares and from its optical and coaxial digital inputs the Pioneer can play WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless and FLAC up to 24-bit/192kHz, DSD (dff/dsf) at 2.8/5.6/11.2MHz, plus your lowly MP3, AAC and WMA files. Audio Alchemy’s Marrakesh (24/96) is such a crisp recording that it takes a flawed system indeed not to sound good, yet here it certainly highlighted the Pioneer’s sense of timing and therefore rhythm, as well as the high-frequency delights — guitar edges so tight and dynamic, the splash cymbal so realistically splashy. And not poke-you-in-the-eye sharp — as we’ve heard it from some over-energised lesser conversions — but here delivered smoothly under the Pioneer’s Direct mode.The N-70AE / N-50AE features a 3.5 colour LCD display with a user-friendly GUI. Enjoy viewing the album artwork while listening to the song. It’s a confident, convincing delivery on the whole, and that doesn’t change as we play our computer’s music library through the asynchronous USB. From digital to analogue conversion to analogue signal output, the whole analogue process is routed via a full-balanced circuit featuring independent left and right channels. Like the N-50A, everything from build to design and usability works in its favour. It’s a perfectly good machine and a serious contender.
