Braylonq116's review of Pioneer PDS-505 Precision

“Ok as a transport ”

★★☆☆☆

written by Braylonq116 on 01/01/2016

This is old technology now so I guess I shouldn't have hoped for too much. The transport is ok but beaten by the maranta cd 6005. The dac is the weak part, it's aweful. Lacking in stereo image but no bass weight or slam. The perpetual technologies dac wiped the floor with it. There are just too many midfi people reviewing kit who haven't owned expensive kit to give you a real review.

Is a £200 player today always going to be better than a £500 player from 30 years ago? I own a Denon DCD 1500 MK2 which cost me £500 in 1989, and I've never listened to cds on anything else, apart from in the car.

Too many Midfi people? Your arrogance and vanity is a major reason why so many outside of this hobby view Audiophiles as obsessive fools! A bit of Humble Pie would serve you and others Like Minded well...
