    Every Android/iPhone app that controls a piece of equipment means that the piece of the equipment needs to be on your network, either via wifi or ethernet.

    Sorry D. Just now reading this. Something will give. Just don't get frustrated like I did. Remember when I was about to throw all my gear out the bedroom window?

    If you're wanting wireless or connected HDD music, look at the Oppo 103.

    I haven't pulled the trigger on any of these units due to the fact I basically already have what I need in just using my computer as my music source.

    I would however like a full review on this N50 if you wouldn't mind.

    103 has an app.
    I "believe" you can use it as a pre, but I'm not certain.

    I can't give a review on the N50 as I am sending it back. Not a slam on the unit, just don't work for what I need it to do. I did play some music through the front usb port via thumb drive, and it sounded very good. The restorer setting works great, enhancing compressed files.

    I downloaded the latest firmware and it wouldn't read my hard drive. Attempts to download a usb driver via the Pioneer website were unsucessful as well. Probably doing something wrong, who knows, but I just want something plug and play that sounds good and that I can control from my phone

    Well then, the Onkyo route I mentioned probably wouldn't be a winner either. The app is slow as molasses, and no way to set up a Queue and shuffle. Makes me appreciate the Cambridge SM6 all the more. Darn thing is working like a beast now.

    Gonna get an Onk 828 or 838 and call it a day. Verified that it will work, with an app.
