Pioneer NC-50D black

Everything a modern hi-fi system needs, plus your choice of speakers.

Back when turntables, FM radios and cassette players ruled the hi-fi world, stereo systems were necessarily bulky, complicated and expensive. The NC-50 DAB brings you the fruits of the digital revolution while freeing up space in your living room. Its elegant housing in a classic hi-fi format contains everything a demanding system needs: CD player, network player, digital radio, Internet radio, high-quality subscription music services and all current streaming standards for your smartphone and tablet. All digital sources, whether integrated or connected via one of the digital inputs, use the N-50 DAB’s high-quality DAC, an ESS SABRE32.

The integrated amplification technology is state-of-the-art: The Direct-Energy-HD amplifier modules developed by Pioneer ensure transparent, natural sound and power capabilities that, with conventional technology, would have taken up the entire housing. The powerful amplifier modules make the only decision you have to make with the NC-50 DAB an easy one: choose the speakers that best suit your sound preferences and interior decor. In any case, you’ll have a device that concentrates maximum quality and program diversity into a single hi-fi component. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, nothing’s stopping you from plugging in a turntable. Because alongside all these digital features, we haven’t forgotten the analog inputs or the dedicated phono input.
