Announced for CES

Willing to spare no expense to meet your streaming music demands? Then you now have two more fairly high-end systems from Pioneer to consider. The company has just released its new N-30 and N-50 networked audio players, which each boast support for AirPlay and DLNA 1.5, as well as the ability to handle top-end digital audio like 192kHz/24-Bit FLAC and WAV files. You'll also get a 2.5-inch LCD up front and control apps for both iOS and Android devices, although you'll have to shell out a bit more for some optional adapters if you want WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity. The N-50 model (pictured above) also steps things up with gold-plated RCA jacks and an "armored chassis" designed to reduce noise, plus support for additional audio features like Advanced Sound Retriever and Sound Retriever AIR (which promise to enhance compressed audio files). Look for it to set you back $699, with the lower-end N-30 model running $499.

For that coin I could get a Sonos....wait, I did get a sonos. Oh well.

Just bustin' balls bro. Looks kinda cool but they seem alittle late to the party.

actually though the sonos can't play Hi Res stuff like this new Pioneer. this looks like a nice option to have and is priced right around where most of the entry level branded network players are from Cambridge, NAD, and Marantz.

Did anyone read the comments at the bottom of that link ? Kinda says it all.

This would look nice next to my elite vsx-52, which is still in the box, unopened, lol! :redface:

But, I guess, first, I should figure out if the n50 will really let me do things that the vsx-52 can't... I did see AirPlay and DLNA icons on the box of the vsx52.
