This consistency is apparent the first time one encounters the player, which weighs a solid 18kg and receives discs in a massive aluminium drawer. The construction of the housing with double floor, three interior assemblies and encapsulated aluminium drive block serves as the perfect, vibration-free mechanical foundation. Separate power supplies for the digital and analogue switching ranges guarantee spotlessly clean supply voltages. From reading data with Pioneers own drive software to the powerful output amplifiers, all ranges are state of the art and were carefully coordinated with each other during months of listening sessions with European and Japanese teams. Not one but two units of the premium ESS9026PRO  considered one of the most accurate, low-distortion DAC chips on the market  in double-mono operation serve as the D\/A converter. The analogue section has a fully symmetrical layout and delivers the music signal either via symmetrical XLR connections or switchable RCA jacks that support even heavy cables thanks to the massive design. An optical and a coaxial digital input are also provided for additional digital sources (such as a satellite receiver or streamer)  so that even more music can benefit from the ultimate D\/A conversion of the PD-70AE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORKS AS A PREMIUM D\/A CONVERTER WITH DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to being a SACD\/CD player, the PD-70AE also functions as a D\/A converter for delivering superb sound. The carefully designed build-quality brings out the full potential of the high-performance ESS DAC, letting you enjoy solid sound full of rich details from the connected component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eANALOGUE\/DIGITAL DISCRETE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITRY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Bluetooth® Wireless Technology, you can easily stream songs from compatible devices.

The drive base is securely fixed by an aluminium frame, and placed through a floating structure using damping pulp material. This helps to minimise vibration within and outside the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFULL BALANCED CIRCUITRY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom D\/A conversion to signal output, the whole analogue process is constructed with a full-balanced circuitry featuring independent left and right channels. This allows high-grade audio transmission by cutting out the interference from disturbance noise. When connected to an amplifier with balanced output, the common impedance in transmission can be minimised, resulting in enhanced channel separation. The on\/off switching function for RCA output is also available, offering high signal to noise ratio and high separation for XLR output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCUSTOM ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS FOR HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA custom electrolytic capacitor for high-grade audio has been selected through repeated trials in listening to SACD and CD sound.
