Customers have mixed opinions about the internet radio. Some mention that it works great, has excellent internet-station features, and has a large number of stations to choose from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Overall Value
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016
Size: N50Verified Purchase
This player is very well built and designed. It has all the connections needed, including IPOD USB on Front panel, USB connections on the rear panel for a PC or storage device, and Ethernet (not wireless, which is optional). Airplay works very well, but I had trouble with maintaining the connection despite using a wired ethernet connection. My preferred setup is to use the rear USB for my Macbook pro, then play music through iTunes as this provides the best sound quality (taking advantage of the internal DAC). The iPod connection from the front USB port works flawlessly, but I found it inconvenient as you are essentially wired to the unit on a short leash. Internet radio works great, and there are quite a large number of stations to choose from.

Limitations and what needs work:
1. The iPhone app is very limited in what it can do and is not intuitively designed. If you are familiar with the Sonos system and App, the Pioneer App is a very LARGE step back in design and functionality.
2. The small color screen on the unit is virtually useless if you are more than a few feet away - you really have to use the inferior app or the included remote control in order to control things - neither is a good solution.

Overall, when looking at price, sound quality, and features I found this player to be a good value. Sound quality is excellent, there is good flexibility in terms of connecting music sources, build quality is top notch, and internet radio is robust

3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
Very complicated. I am not as stupid as I look. Neither I, nor my son, could get it working. I am a surgeon and he is an engineer. On that note, everything is fine now. Not counting the post above, the people at Pioneer tech support (I bought it from an outside dealer) were very helpful and eager to help. I know, I called them several times. The problem was with the Pioneer AS-WL300 wireless adapter. The head of tech support at Pioneer eventually said it is a lousy unit and to return it. I also tried a Netgear unit. The only way I could get it to work was to hard wire an ethernet cable from my router to the unit. You can't stream from a PC. It play Itunes very well. You can upgrade to Itunes Match for better quality sound and selection. You can play HD 24/192 files off a thumb drive or external unit easily. Not sure I would recommend it. If you want to stream the
Sonos is super easy. My son loves his. If you want audiophile quality sound with HD files there are better DAC's. It depends what you want. The N-30 will do both but neither really well. It is a good bang for the buck though.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016
Size: N50Verified Purchase
First of all, I gave this item a 5-star rating because it exactly met my expectations. If you are expecting too much from the N-50 it will not meet your needs (no Pandora or Spotify). I knew the N-50 was a three year old music server which is ancient in technology terms. Functionally it cannot compete with all the gee whiz features of the newer music servers. What it offers is a decent level of connectivity with exceptional build and sound quality. My N-50 replaced a Cambridge Audio DAC that actually cost more than I paid for the N-50. The N-50 has an audiophile quality DAC and it would be worth it for that only. I use the USB input from my pc to stream hi-rez flac files. I also put my entire catalog of music on a 128gb flash drive and plugged it into the front port of the N-50. All my music is now available without a pc if I don't wan to use the computer. I also used the RJ45 connection to hardwire the N-50 into my server. It immediately recognized my Western Digital MyCloud server and all the music on it. The Pioneer Control App is bad though and accessing your music from the app is problematic at best. I haven't updated the N-50 firmware yet so it might get better. At the original cost of $700 the N-50 is no bargain but at less than $300 it is a nice piece.

This product is very limited. No built in wifi. You have to buy an adaptor for bluetooth. The screen can't be seen from four feet away. The network was impossible and does not work. There is no support for any streaming services. Unless you only want to use internet radio which does not find all of the stations you look up or at via USB. It is pretty much useless. On the bright side the sound and price are very good if you are on a budget. With the extra money you have to spend to get some kind of use out of it I'd buy something else. I've requested a return.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Functional Disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015
Size: N50Verified Purchase
I looked forward to having a way to play my HD FLAC files from my music server on my home audio system. I have been using an Audiotron (an ancient Turtle Beach device, well ahead of its time, but now not supported, and only handles MP3 files). I hoped the pioneer system would adequately replace it, and add FLAC capability. It does not replace the Audiotron in terms of functionality for the following simple reason: It does not handle .m3u or other playlist files. The control app isn't much help. I can select a file or album from my phone instead of on the device itself - big deal. The "Air Jam" plays only files from the 'phone (how many FLAC files can you fit on your phone?) A simple ability to create playlists and/or use .m3u files would make this a 5-star choice.
The audio quality of the device is superb. The sound is crystal clear from the HD FLAC files, and there is a real audible difference between a 176/24 FLAC and a 156 MP3 (although I don't hear much difference between an HD FLAC and a 320 MP3.) The quality of sound, and the excellent internet-station features keep me from sending this back. But it could be a lot better with just a little feature addition.
