Pioneer VSX-933 review

The built-in Wi-Fi adapter works in two bands (2.4 / 5 GHz), which means that it can establish stable wireless communication even in a large apartment building, stuffed with access points. Judging by the presence of two antennas, data can be transmitted at a speed of up to 300 Mbps - enough to play stereo audio streams with a resolution of up to 192 kHz / 24 bit (AIFF, Apple Lossless, WAV, FLAC) or multi-channel FLAC or WAV 48 kHz / 24 bit (over a wired Ethernet network - up to 96 kHz / 24 bit). Moreover, continuous playback (gapless) of tracks is possible - this is necessary for albums recorded without pauses.
