An amazing device. Excellent sound quality and a good player app. The player app doesn't support song ratings, but I think that's a minor issue. You also can't play tracks from multiple storage locations unless you add each storage location to a playlist, but that is easy enough to do. Comes with extra Google software that is unnecessary and frankly, of no use on an audio player. The device itself is large and heavy and the control buttons could use a little bit bigger bump to tell them apart by feel. Does not support headphone controls. I love the dial volume control. Battery life is quite good and can last most of the day with wi-fi and the screen turned off. I have paired with Bowers & Wilkins C5 Series 2 earbuds and AIAIAI TMA 1 Studio headphones and no EQ or DSP and I am finding nuances in my music that I never heard before.

I use this item to mainly stream from deeper. I use an external dac amplifier called the chord mojo. While the unit has a built in dac amp and sounds fine with it I do hear an improvement with the mojo. I probably would enjoy the unit without the mojo but I already had the mojo $600 and I was trying to use my mobile phone (Windows Phone) and they would not work together as Windows uses an old version of usb. Obsurd. I tried connecting my iPod touch 6th gen with the mojo and it worked. I ordered this pioneer and it sounds better than the iPod through the mojo. My favorite feature is dedicated buttons on the device to control playback without fumbling through touch screens. This stuff is just for people who dig music and want a dedicated device just for that purpose. Headphones are important and I use 2 different pairs depending on what I'm listening to. The B & O H6 and the Sony MDR-1A. Both are portable over the ear.

I've gone through various iPods, the $250+ Sony Walkman, Fiio X3 and X5 (v. 1 and 2). I like the Pioneer better. There is some clumsiness in the Pioneer menu (I have about 14,000 songs loaded), but ease of use is generally easier than the Fiio. The Android OS operates smoothly. Soundwise (the reason for spending the big bucks on this player), there are no complaints. Whether it's any better than the less expensive X5 is difficult to say. Bluetooth works fine. I'd buy this player again.
