Pioneer VSX-532 VS
Yamaha RX-A1070BL
Pros & Cons
Pioneer VSX-532
VSPros
- I am glad that built-in decoders play almost all of my files properly. It is 100% worth of its price.
- The total power output is 210 Watts, which is enough for enjoying proper sounding in my living room.
- Not very important, but anyway, it can be both auto/manually switched on.
Cons
- It does not have auto power off, so it bothers me each time to turn it off manually.
- For me not so important, but note that it does not have networking capabilities.
- The main disadvantage for me is that it cannot be controlled via a smartphone.

VSPros
- I liked the idea of two-way Bluetooth. You can connect Bluetooth wireless headphones or, conversely, transfer audio from your phone to it as a source.
- Setup and operation are quite simple.
- Stylistic design and ergonomic remote.
- Great Digital Zone 2 conversion.
Cons
- Yamaha went cheap in the inputs.
