Pioneer NC-50DAB(B) All-in-One Hifi System (CD, DAB+, Amplifier, D/A Converter), Wifi, Bluetooth, USB, Streaming, Music Apps (Spotify, Deezer, etc.), Internet Radio, 50W/Channel, Multiroom, Black

This is a fantastic piece of kit,beautify made and sounds very good. Connected to expensive speaker's the sound quality is stunning.

This is a great unit if you want an all-in-one box for CDs and Network listening. I'm no audiophile, but sound quality is excellent (I have it hooked up to Mordaunt-Short bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer). Works well via the Spotify and Pioneer apps on a phone or tablet. Takes USB sticks front and back and has Bluetooth and PC streaming inputs. Will probably need a firmware update when you get it, but other than that installation and wifi setup is simple. Unlike reviewer Mario, I have had no problems when listening to Spotify. For the price, I'll confess to being to being a little bit disappointed with some lack of features. There's no sleep timer, though the unit does turn itself off after 20 minutes of no activity, so you can drift off to sleep with a CD or USB album etc, but not the radio. There are radio presets on the FM tuner (and Favourites for the Internet stations), but not on DAB, so you always have to scroll through stations on DAB. On USB, you can shuffle tracks within one folder, but not over all folders (which I can do on my car system). There is also no balance control for the speaker output (yes, I know, I know, but sometimes you can't get the speakers positioned just right for everybody in the room). The Pioneer app is good, but searching through Internet radio stations could be improved.

Excellent across the board - proper hi res network. No complaints paired with KEF LS50s and Rega Planar 3. Even the phono stage is decent.

I had a similar problem as previous reviewers, which were not solved by a firmware update. The CD tray would not open. Eventually, it opened, I put in a CD, it closed, and then it would not open again. It did eventually open hours later - I got my CD out and returned the unit. Assuming it was faulty, I obtained a replacement (exactly the same make and model) from a local Hifi store - but this had the same problem as well. I took it back to the Hifi store and demonstrated the problem on my unit, and then I demonstrated the same problem with their display model in store - they sheepishly admitted that they had never tested the CD player. They offered a replacement which obviously I refused, as seeing three individual units with the exact same problem is more than enough to confirm an underlying problem. I took a refund. AVOID.

Despite the price, something above my marked budget, I decided for this equipment because of the full features. Good sound and elegant appearance but the problems started from the first moment. After putting a cd, I could not open the reader, and only after several times turn it off and on, and a software update works but ... The second problem, without solving month and a half later, is listening to Spotify. If this is one of the reasons for buying, as it was for me being Premium I wait for you. As a summary I tell you that listening to Spotify directly is full of cuts, randomly and with interruption times of 2/3 seconds, from one / two cuts per song to about 10. Impossible to listen without despair. After checking that it was not a network problem (perfect Deezer and Tuneinn) the first thing I did was to contact Pioneer via email to which I was told, in record time, that this was a problem of the Spotify Platform and they had to solve it. There I started to look, within the Spotify Community, to see where the problem was, seeing that it was a general problem that affects not only this model of Pioneer but to several where the listening is direct through the software developed for music equipment, where the technicians of Spotify after months of "debates" continue to solve. And in case of solving it, later it will have to be transferred via firmware update launched by Pioneer, reason why if it does not work, of whom will be the problem? Our. You can listen to it without bugs via Bluetoothth but for that you do not need a device with these characteristics. Any simpler and of course cheaper will do the service. Since the return period has passed and it is not a technical problem to repair I have to wait. I will let you know if there are any changes. Update 11/09/17 The problem with the CD keeps the same. I thought It was solved by an update but it wasn't. The problem comes and goes but never solved. Two weeks ago I sent an email to Pioneer service and they told me I have to take it to the technical service. I will tell you

Reçu ce matin. Bien emballé. Installation facile. Application Android très pratique et fiable. Connection wifi par mot de passe, mais fonctionnelle sans coupures. CD, Bluetooth, USB, radio FM et DAB OK. Testé avec mes enceintes Bose Acoustimass 2x100...... Le son est juste in-cro-ya-ble! limpide même avec le volume et les basses au maximum . Le plaisir retrouvé d'écouter de la bonne musique, comme si on la jouait devant soi !

Come audiofilo di lungo corso, ho apprezzato la qualità complessiva di questo strumento di riproduzione musicale. La tecnologia Hi-Fi Pioneer ha realizzato un ottimo prodotto, versatile e completo e con un ottima sezione Audio. Dettagli come i connettori dorati per i diffusori ne sono l’esempio. Lo utilizzo per la sezione multimediale con TV del mio impianto e collegato a due diffusori Bookshelf. In parallelo al sistema valvolare principale che pilota una coppia di diffusori da pavimento, dedicato questo solamente alla parte di ascolto HI-FI. Ciononostante il Pioneer suona molto bene. Sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto e del servizio professionale di Amazon. Nulla di negativo da segnalare.

Aus meiner Sicht ein gutes Gerät, welches mir nun seit 5,5 Jahren gute Dienste leistet. Klingt super (hochwertiger Digitalverstärker) und beinhaltet viele Quellen, weitere lassen sich anschließen. Sieht schick aus und verbraucht wenig Strom. Geräte anderer Hersteller (Cambridge Audio, Cocktail...) können schonmal gerne das Doppelte kosten. Für ein Update des Gerätes fände ich (wie hier schon genannt) eine Zehnertastatur auf der Fernbedienung praktisch. Die Displayauflösung könnte erhöht werden und ja, ein Balanceregler wäre auch nicht verkehrt. Dennoch: Unterm Strich ein richtig gutes multifunktionales HiFi-Gerät, mit dem ich nach wie vor sehr zufrieden bin. Wer eine Alternative mit Zehnertastatur sucht, landet vielleicht beim Marantz MCR-612, der soll auch sehr gut sein...

Me ha gustado su sonido y la calidad de construcción. Pero lo he comparado con un Yamaha MusicCast MCR-N470D y no he notado prácticamente diferencia alguna. Lo que dice mucho del Yamaha, que por la mitad de precio (casi) tiene muy buen sonido y una inmejorable verastilidad. No me ha gustado la pantalla que tiene, los menús y ciertos retrasos en las conexiones inalámbricas, Además de lo que ya comentó algún usuario de lo de Spotify, que he comprobado que es cierto.

Un beau produit qui simplifie la vie et permet de multiplier les sources musicales en conservant une bonne qualité de son
