Pioneer BDP-160

 

Pioneer has prioritised sensibly with the BDP-160, cutting back on features to focus on the picture and sound, and on keeping the price down

Punchy picture ; Weighty sound ; High build quality

Rivals pack more features ; Sparse menu system

The Pioneer BDP-160 has shown that you don’t need shiny looks or snazzy features to be really good.

Super Audio CD compatibility; old-school design; picture quality; broad file compatibility

Slow disc loading speeds; miserable user interface; token network content

The Pioneer BDP-160 was quite the surprise. Often makers differentiate product levels by means of progressively disabling features in the cheaper models. It seems that Pioneer in putting together this unit found that the various chipsets they had...
