PIONEER PD-50-K

Second-hand. In good conditions. Shows signs of wear. Supplied with remote control, original packaging, and user manual.

The Pioneer PD-50-K is a Super Audio CD player designed to deliver music playback with exceptional fidelity. Its construction is solid and carefully engineered, featuring a rigid bottom chassis and an aluminum front panel that help minimize vibrations and external interference. The internal layout adopts a direct design with separated shielding and dual transformers that isolate the audio block from the power supply section, allowing the signal to follow a shorter, cleaner path for a pure and crystal-clear sound output.

Thanks to the Hi-bit DSP processor, the PD-50-K handles signal processing with high speed and precision, resulting in outstanding audio accuracy. The Auto Level Control function automatically balances volume differences between tracks, eliminating the need for manual adjustment during playback. Full compatibility with the DSD format of Super Audio CDs ensures access to high-resolution music in its purest form. By connecting an iPod, iPhone, or iPad directly via the digital input, the player delivers higher audio quality than traditional analog connections.

The front USB port allows quick access to audio files stored on external drives, supporting formats such as MP3, WMA, MPEG-4, and DSD. Compressed files are enhanced by the Sound Retriever system, which restores detail and dynamics, bringing playback clarity close to CD-level performance. To further elevate the listening experience, the Pure Audio Listening mode disables unnecessary functions to optimize the analog signal path, while compatibility with Apple devices includes direct charging during connection. Engineered for those who value quality, precision, and versatility, the PD-50-K combines refined engineering and user-friendly functionality in a high-performance audio player.
