Pioneer XW-NAS5 digital speaker system for iPod

Pioneer XW-NAS5

 

The market for iPod hifis is one that Apple didn't quite get right, but since it bowed out of highend audio speaker market, plenty of products have arrived to fill the gap. Pioneer has decided to have a crack at the higher end of the market with its...

At 400, the XWNAS5 is just a touch too expensive to get our full endorsement, but it's a capable iPod hifi and listening wirelessly is good, especially from an iPod touch or iPhone. If you're a discerning listener, however, it might be best to have a...

Pioneer XW-NAS5 iPod dock

Pioneer XWNAS5

 

Room-filling volume. Sounds great with the right material. FM radio. Component output. Great build quality. On-board DAC and digital amp.

High price. Some features are a bit naff. Can sound overly boomy. Remote control not so good.

The Pioneer XWNAS5 boasts a premium fit and finish, and while it goes loud a slight tendency for boominess spoils its hi-fi credentials.
