What customers say about "Key Specs"

Pioneer SX-S30DAB Network Stereo Receiver (Black)

A versatile little performer. Nice look, 100% worth to buy.
This is the dream of audiophiles and home theatre buffs. Highly recommend.
I was looking for a slim a-v receiver which provided good HDMI connectivity plus if possible DAB and FM radio tuners. The Pioneer SX-S30DAB fulfils this spec perfectly.
The power rating first — no amount of versatility is of value if the output is weedy.
High distortion of 1% THD is allowed, it's like a pretty big number for the output power this receiver got.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Pioneer SX-S30DAB Network Stereo Receiver (Black)

All of the hdmi inputs are 4K-compatible and HDCP2.2-enabled. So no any reconections allowed.
Good wireless capabilities. Chromecast and FireConnect streaming — a huge array of wireless versatility which delivers network replay (including high-res PCM and DSD).
Those HDMI inputs are usefully versatile — you can plug them up any which way then use the on-screen menu to allocate to the buttons on the remote.
HDMI connectivity giving it particularly strong TV audio gifts among this group.
It's only one subwoofer output and no ‘tape out’ or pre-out sockets here.
