Pioneer Home AV N-70AE-B UK3

Product Information

Enjoy a virtually endless supply of music in moments. Both network audio players support Spotify Connect, Chromecast built-in, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, allowing users to stream songs from Android™ smartphones and tablets; iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Windows® devices and PCs, Mac PCs*1, and Chromebook. Displays Song Information and Album Cover Artwork As befits any model being at the top of the tree, Pioneer has ensured that the N-70AE wants for nothing in specification terms. The decoding platform is built around a streaming solution that works via wired and wireless connections and is compatible with 24-bit/192kHz PCM and up to DSD256. Decoding is handled by apair of ESS Sabre 9016 DACs and runs in dual mono and fully balanced configuration, available to coaxial, optical and USB Type-B digital inputs. The USB betters the streaming section and is 32-bit/384kHz capable and there are coaxial and optical digital outputs as well as analogue RCA and XLR. 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). 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. 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.

Pioneer has released two new Network Audio Players, the N-70AE and N-50AE, that come with Spotify Connect, Chromecast, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth all built in. Connect a plug-and-play HDD to the USB terminal and enjoy music libraries in high definition*2.

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.
