What customers say about "Key Specs"

Pioneer XDP-100R-S (Silver) 32GB Portable High Resolution Audio Player (Japan Import)

The screen artwork is awesome. The build quality is amazing. It is beautiful to look at.
It sounds so good, I can't stop listening once I start. I guess this replaces my Pioneer RT-909.
For the price you get excellent sound, lots of memory space, and features that none other can match.
I've owned this player around a year now & I have to say I'm still impressed. The sound quality is amazing!
The sound quality is excellent especially when paired with balanced ear modules.

Pioneer XDP-30R Hi-Res Digital Audio Player, Black

The display is small but sufficient. Most of the time this device is in your pocket anyways.
Great product and great sound. I use LCD2 headphones and this is a great portable DAC.
The battery life is to short,but i love the rest sounds impressive and storage capacity more i need.
The sound is hard to fault. It is amazing that that a player this compact can sound so good. Also i like the display.
The display is not big, but easy to use, I'm used to it and I really like it!

What customers say about "Features"

Pioneer XDP-100R-S (Silver) 32GB Portable High Resolution Audio Player (Japan Import)

The sound is amazing and I'm able to transfer music and playlists from iTunes seamlessly after purchasing a 3rd party app.
This player has lots of adjustments to the sound. All kinds of adjustments not on any of my other players. It is sleek and well built.
Wonderful player with high resolution sound. With option for external memory capacity of storing music maximum 400GB.
The software UI is just fine, being well orgnaized and easy to navigate.
Bluetooth pairing is very easy, but staying connected is not. One ear will go out, then the other and then after a few seconds the connection will come back. This is within a building, not outside.

Pioneer XDP-30R Hi-Res Digital Audio Player, Black

It played every sound format I tried with ease. Highly Recommended.
Clear crisp sound, bluetooth and WiFi both connect seamlessly.
The unit is a nice size for me, has reasonable battery life, great sound and features, and fast WIFI / Bluetooth.
The controls have a delayed response of between 5-15 seconds, or do not register having been selected (e.g. Sync Added Songs);
The only real negative is Pioneer's X-DAP software. Skip it. Use another program to organize your music and just drag and drop it on the SD card.

What customers say about "Power"

Pioneer XDP-100R-S (Silver) 32GB Portable High Resolution Audio Player (Japan Import)

The battery life is unpredictable, but it's a lot better than an ipod.
After a full battery charge eleven hours listening of music with the screen turned off.
Best player for the money, good battery life, powers my Bose and Sennheiser headphones no problem.
The battery lasts about 11 hours with even some video clips.
After using it for a week or so, I have to add that it has very short battery life- barely enough for a weekend with moderate use.

Pioneer XDP-30R Hi-Res Digital Audio Player, Black

Good sound quality and battery life, user interface is stable generally speaking.
Battery life seems very good. I haven't performed a run-down test, but a long travel day with 6 hours in the air and some listening in cabs and at the airports meant roughly 50% battery use.
Great battery life when in pure music mode. Can play tunes all day long before I have to charge it.
The only possible downside is the battery life. With heavy listening and WIFI on (for more than a few hours a day) I have to charge it daily.
Short battery life. Mine, brand new, gives me maybe 3 or 4 hours, at best. I turn it off when I don't use it and try to keep the screen time to a minimum.
