Pioneer N-50ae

The N-50AE has been designed to provide music listeners with maximum freedom and variety. No matter how you prefer to discover and enjoy music – whether through your smartphone, cloud music services, a local NAS server, a USB hard drive, or simply on your PC – the new streaming unit of the N-50AE always opens the optimal playback path for the music, without requiring you to think much about it or adjust to new habits.

The integrated streaming services Tidal, Deezer, and Spotify, the premium internet radio offering from TuneIn, as well as AirPlay, built-in Chromecast technology, and Bluetooth for connecting mobile devices ensure an inexhaustible music repertoire. To ensure that its sonic potential is always fully realized, the N-50AE features a high-quality 32-bit DAC from ESS and separate power supplies for analog and digital components. Because streaming not only means an unprecedented selection but also provides access to a sound quality far beyond the CD standard with HiRes.

Thanks to MQA, the N-50AE will even enable HiRes quality after the appropriate firmware update without prior downloading, simply through Tidal streaming directly from the web. Multi-room functionality has also been considered, as the N-50AE is compatible with the powerful, manufacturer-independent FireConnect standard – allowing for precise synchronized playback in multiple rooms and access to remote sources via the network.
