PRESS RELEASE

Pioneer offers a new compact digital audio player that meets the needs of changing times.

Onkyo Pioneer Innovations has created a new compact digital audio player, the Pioneer XDP-30R Hi-res portable audio player.

While compact in size (W: 63 x H:94 x D:15mm) it is packed with features wanted from the music aficionado to the audiophile. With support for up to 5.6MHz DSD native playback, 192kHz/32bit FLAC/WAV, and upscaling of compressed audio/streaming audio, you can enjoy all forms of audio in pristine audio quality. Equipped with twin ESS SABRE DAC and Headphone amp chips symmetrically laid out on the circuit board, drive your music to new heights. Along with the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, there is also a 2.5mm 4 pole balanced output jack that allows for audio quality unheard of in such a small package. With support for both BTL drive and Active Control GND drive, enjoy balanced audio. The internal 16GB storage is accompanied by 2 micro SD card slots that each support up to 200GB for a total of 416GB of audio storage. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well, gain access to streaming audio and connect to a wide variety of peripherals.
