PIONEER N-70A

Second-hand, in mint condition, without scratches (see pictures). Supplied with its original package and accessories.
Streaming network player

The N-70A offers access to a wealth of musical sources. The unit can be connected to a wired or a wireless* network, and stream music from a PC, Mac or NAS (Network Attached Storage). It?s also possible to receive internet radio stations using vTuner and to listen to the popular Spotify Connect music service. Streaming music from an iPhone, an iPod touch using AirPlay technology is also possible.
Extensive USB options
However, the N-70A might as well be used without a network. The USB ports on the front and the back allow to connect a hard disc, from which music can be played directly. In the same way, an iPod or an iPhone can be connected. It?s also possible to connect a laptop or a desktop pc or Mac to the N-70A, using the dedicated B-type USB port at the back. This way, the N-70A will be deployed as a high-end asynchronous USB DAC, which accepts DSD signals (2.8 MHz/5.6 MHz) and PCM signals up to 384 kHz.
Rock solid performance
The N-70A has a full aluminium body with a rigid, 3 mm bottom plate that is resistant to vibrations. Inside, the unit is divided into three separated chambers, minimizing the chance of interference that might degrade the audio signal. Furthermore, the unit is equipped with separated, individually shielded transformers for the analogue and the digital circuits. The N-70A accepts hi-res audio signals up to 384 kHz/32 bit, including DSD signals (2.8/5.6 MHz). The device can also upsample digital or analogue signals to 384 kHz/32 bit. Last but not least, our unique Hi-Bit 32-bit extension technology ensures that the original musical content is perfectly preserved.
* Optional AS-WL300, W-Fi adapter needed
From digital to analogue
Inside the N-70A, two Sabre32 ESS9016 chips are deployed to take care of the D/A conversion process. Each chip uses no less then eight D/A-conversion circuits, making sure the conversion is extremely precise.
The N-70A features a high-end DAC section that can also be used to improve the sound quality of external digital sources, by simply connecting these sources to the coaxial and optical inputs of the N-70A. The N-70A also has coaxial and optical digital outputs, as well as unbalanced and balanced analogue outputs. Both units are equipped with a USB type A port, to connect a hard disc or a similar device, as well as USB type B port, which can be used to set-up a direct connection with a pc or a Mac. The N-70A also has a headphone output on the front panel, which is driven by a dedicated high performance headphone amplifier.
The streamers are compatible with FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AIFF and WAV files, up to a resolution of 384 kHz/32 bits. DSD files (2.8/5.6 MHz) can be read as well. And whatever the file type, the N-70A will play it perfectly gapless.
Easy to use
Thanks to the easy readable 3.5" colour LCD screen on the front panel and the user friendly ControlApp, the N-70A is a breeze to use. The acclaimed Pioneer ControlApp, which also shows cover art, is available at no charge for iPhone and iPod touch from the App Store. An Android version is available free of charge in the Google Play store.
