Pioneer XDP-30R Hi-res Portable audio Player with WiFi

Pioneer has expanded its portable audio player range (DAP: Digital Audio Player) with the release of the all new XDP-30R. The device is virtually identical to the recently announced Onkyo DP-S1, in fact, that’s not surprising since the both companies are part of the same group. Again then we speak of a portable audio player with headphone amplifier and Hi-Res DAC, therefore compatible with high resolution files. Pioneer XDP-30R is also made from a single block of aluminum and measures 94 x 63 x 15 mm with a weight of 120 grams (just 10 grams less than DP-S1).
