I have been looking for a way to play files directly from a portable hard drive without the use of a computer or a network for some time. I was interested in the streamer tests in the latest edition and drawn to the Pioneer N50. I notice however that the manual states that the N50 is not compatible with USB hard drives and that the file System for the USB device must br FAT 32 not NTFS. Large hard drive (partitions) cannot be farmatted with FAT32 due to a windows limitation.
I am disapointed that the review seems to indicate that the N50 will play from USB HDD but this does not seem to be the case.
What device will do what I need other than the Cocktail X10 which seems a bit noddy to me.
