N-70A
Network audio player with front USB, Hi-Bit processing, USB DAC and Auto Sound Retriever

Take full advantage of digital audio.

Developed for the digital age, the N-70A connects to many different sources. Via a wired or wireless LAN connection, it allows you to stream music from a PC, Mac or NAS (Network Attached Storage), listen to internet radio stations using vTuner or seamless music via Spotify. The N-70A can also be used to stream music from an iPhone or iPod touch via AirPlay.

On top of that, it supports the most popular music formats, as well as high-resolution audio files via USB. With an asynchronous USB port at the back, the N-70A can act as a high-end asynchronous USB DAC. And thanks its sound-enhancing features and rigid construction, this network player lets you enjoy your music in crystal clear quality - no matter the source.

The N-70A is also available in silver (N-70A-S).

Stream with ease

AirPlay compatibility allows enthusiasts to access their iTunes music library through the AV receiver. This AV receiver is also DLNA certified (1.5) to work as a Digital Media Player and Digital Media Renderer.

Enjoy Spotify Connect

Enjoy on demand access to millions of songs with Spotify’s digital streaming service. This AV receiver is ready for Spotify Connect, which lets you select songs on your Spotify app to listen to on your audio system.

Hi-Res audio

The USB ports let you connect to your iPhone/iPod, hard disc, PC or Mac for direct music playback. Functioning as an asynchronous USB DAC, you can enjoy hi-res audio files like DSD and PCM – even without a network connection.

WAV album art display

This network player has an easy-to-read 3.5” colour LCD screen, which allows you to add album art to your WAV albums. Just place a jpg-file of the cover art in your music folder and you will always know what is playing.

Balanced audio

The N-70A is equipped with a 3-pin XLR (by Neutrik) analogue output, which allows you to customise your cables as you please. Thanks to the fully balanced circuit, the XLR3 connection always guarantees high-grade audio.

Take control

The Pioneer ControlApp lets you stream music directly to the player without using an additional app. It is freely available for your iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store and for your Android device on Google Play.
