Pioneer N50A… wifi adaptor?

[siderealxxx]

I'm looking closely at the Pionner N50A as it appears to do everything I want it to do and the reviews seem good. The only thing is it requires an AS-WL300 wifi adaptor to work wirelessly, which by all accounts isn't a very good/reliable device. I'm new to network players so is there an alternative? Thanks!

CA Stream Magic 6, you have the V1 and shortly the V2 on run out sale at Richer Sounds. I had a V2 sold it beacuse I'm a HiFi snob bought a Linn Majik DS the SM6 was miles better, sounded superb. Waiting for the launch of the Cambridge CXN same motherboard, adds colour screen and airplay.

Apologies, I meant alternatives for the AS-WL300 not the N50A 🙂

The CA doesn't have Airplay which is the only reason I ruled it out.

Cheers

Maybe this?

Yes any will do, this new CXN has Airplay!

Looks nice... Can't see any updates on release schedule though.

This month, RS are supposed to be ringing me as soon as they get one.

This does look really good actually, any idea on pricing? If they can keep it around £549 I'd go for it. Might have to wait and see now.

£699

Right, seems fair I guess but maybe a little pricey for me when Pioneer does the job at £499. Hm...

Any powerline adaptor should do the job. Admittedly you will have to still use a network cable, but only a short one!
