The Pioneer N-70A is a high-end network audio player and external DAC, designed specifically for audiophiles seeking the very best quality in the playback of digital music and high-resolution files (Hi-Res Audio).
This streamer stands out for its monumental internal construction, weighing in at a substantial 11.5 kg, characterised by a rigid aluminium chassis divided into three isolated chambers. This design clearly separates the power supply, the digital section and the analogue section to eliminate any internal interference or vibration.
