Pros & Cons

Pioneer SC-LX801

VS

Pros

    • High-Resolution Audio, including FLAC, DSD, and Apple AirPlay Connectivity.
    • Quality built-in functions.
    • Automatic video scaling.
    • Set up and configuring is easy due to MCACC.

Pioneer VSX-532

VS

Pros

    • 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.
