Pros & Cons

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.
