the PD-30 AE, unlike most playback products in its class, is based on a pure, genuine CD drive. The specialization of this quiet unit for a single task positively affects both the low operating noise and the sound of the player.
Accurate data reading is supported by an enclosure, low vibration steel sheet with an aluminum front panel, a generously sized power supply, and a precision ultra-low interference clock that cycles the drive and D/A converter with ±10 ppm accuracy.
Thanks to the optical and coaxial digital outputs, the PD-30 AE’s converter can also be used by external playback devices, even without the use of the connected amplifier thanks to the built-in, variable headphone jack. Collaboration for ultimate convenience takes place when the PD-30 AE meets its fellow network player, the N-30 AE. Then the streamer makes it possible to operate the CD player using the Pioneer Remote app, transferring its commands via a remote control cable.
