Actually for the price this is a very good unit with excellent sound. I have had the unit for 1 month and I really enjoy the sound.

Overall a solid unit.

Strengths:
Digital output, Build quality

Remote

Review 2 of 7

Summary:
Well, it was my own fault. I tried aa
Technics because it was smaller (fit better
into my cabinet). Boy, did I regret that! I
reurned the technics "junk-box" and bought
this Pioneer. Fully pleased with the sound
quality, quietness of operation, speed of
changing discs, everything but the remote.
Here's a hint to those of you considering
this unit. I have a Radio Shack (yes, Radio
Shack) 6 in 1 learning remote. The model is 15-1994. I bought it for $29.95. Teach this
remote what you need from the Pioneer
remote and save your eyesight. This is the
most amazing learning remote I have ever
used. It has been able to operate every
feature of my Denon, Hitachi, Sony, JVC and
Pioneer components. Incredible!

Strengths:
Digital out, Quietness, Clean Quality
Sound.

Weaknesses:
Remote is WAY too tiny.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
