Super Audio CD players
True to our ‘Pure Audio’ philosophy of quick response and open sound, our Super Audio CD players meet the rigorous sound standards to bring you crystal clear audio.
Your music never sounded better
Hi-bit 32 Audio signal processing
To bring out the best in the 32-bit DAC Hi-bit32 Audio Processing uses Pioneer-original algorithms to expand the input bit signals, creating a natural and analogue-like waveform to reproduce rich audio even from extremely minute signals. High-resolution 192 kHz/24-bit audio sources can be expanded to 192 kHz/32-bit signals.
192 kHz/32-bit Twin DAC
To process the high-density signals from Super Audio CD, twin 192 kHz/ 32-bit D/A converters are used. They are parallel-connected for improved audio performance reproducing minute musical nuances in master sound quality.
Auto Level Control
Auto Level Control equalises volume level differences between tracks when playing music from an iPod or other sources. The playback volume is maintained at a consistent level, so there is no need to make adjustments for each song.
Sound Retriever
Sound Retriever significantly improves the sound quality of compressed audio — such as WMA, MPEG-4 AAC, and MP3 — to the level of CD sound. Exclusive algorithms are applied to restore signals which had been eliminated during the compression process.
Digital Audio from iPod/iPhone/iPad
You can connect your iPod/iPhone/iPad via a digital connection to the Super Audio CD player and charge your device while playing your favorite audio files. The audio signal is directly transferred to the high-performance DAC, offering superior sound compared to analogue connections. You can operate you i-device with the player’s remote control.

Twin Transformers
Twin transformers with practically no magnetic leakage are built into the power supply, allowing powerful audio and increased S/N ratio at even extremely low frequencies.
Direct Construction with Separate Shield Structure
The unit features a separate shield structure to isolate the audio block from the digital/servo power block while keeping the shortest signal transmission paths. The result is minimum noise and distortion for crystal clear audio reproduction.
