Pioneer VSX-831 silver

Equipped with a state-of-the-art video interface, the VSX-831 delivers Ultra HD images (4K/60p/4:4:4, Pass Through / Upscaler) and supports HDR and BT.2020 standards. Its discrete Direct Energy amplification relies on the renowned MCACC acoustic calibration system, accompanied by Phase Control technology to obtain a lively and highly precise sound reproduction, in perfect harmony with the latest HD audiovisual sources. Certified Hi-Res Audio, the VSX-831 offers several options for listening to your HD audio files, whether via the front USB port, network port, or Wi-Fi connection, all without interruption between tracks thanks to the Gapless function.

Note that it is also possible to stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device. The VSX-831 is the first model in the 2016 range to offer Google Cast compatibility, allowing you to easily stream any type of content (radio, podcast, music) from any device (tablet, PC/MAC, smartphone) equipped with a compatible app. After an upcoming firmware update, the VSX-831 will be able to offer multi-room audio via FireConnect technology. This will allow you to stream all sources connected to the amplifier to other rooms with compatible Pioneer speakers. All these features can be controlled via the free iControlAV5 app for smartphones and tablets (Android/iOS), while setup and connection to your home network will be simplified with the new color graphical menu, also making its debut on the VSX-831.
