Further Information:

Pioneer N70AE Streamer/DAC with remote.

The unit is built like a tank and feels substantial at 11.4KG.

This was my first try at relatively serious streaming to see what all the fuss was about.

The Pioneer has performed perfectly playing my ripped music via USB drive, playing my Tidal music via installed Tidal setting and listening to the installed radio function.

It was never my serious source but was very useful when you wanted to set and forget for a while.

Everything works as it should and presents as new.

Would suit someone looking to try streaming as I did.

I operated with both the remote and the App which is easy to set up.

All the latest system upgrades have been installed.

Prefer local sale so I can demo for you but have original boxes so can ship at agreed price and carrier.
