Pros & Cons

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.

Pioneer VSX-531

VS

Pros

    • Built-in decoders: DTS-HD, Dolby True HD and digital plus that can play almost any kind of files properly.
    • With built-in Bluetooth now I can stream music from a phone.
    • Build in clock and sleeping timer are useful benefits since it switches off in set up time.
    • Personally, I have most devices on HDMI ports and only a few analogs, but it has almost all connector types, including TOSLINK and RCA.

Cons

    • No Dolby Atmos, but at such a price it couldn’t have one.
    • Notice that it does not support the Apple lossless format, but I do not have one.
