Hi
I have older Xhm82, for 2 years driving MA Bx1.
I think it is a great piece of kit. My shortlist of competitors was Marantz 610, Denon Ceol N9.
I also liked Cambridge Audio Minx but wanted good old fm.
As a fruit-based house Apple AirPlay was a must, and with flakey broadband fm was too.
i was upgrading from non-networked Onkyo cr310 and wanted more power more connectivity and better fm tuner
My purchase decision was significantly influenced by feature set of the pioneer, it really had every connection I wanted. and also the rotary volume knob instead of the plus/minus buttons of ther two short listed
I had worried that it would be a confusion of different inputs but it all works very well, the interface is not very ambitious which helps internet radio probably weakest .
i love tha manner in which I can push to it from WiFi, eg it might be on FM but if I push from a device eg Spotify Connect it allows its current input to be overridden, no need to switch input
it makes a much better sound with MA than previous Onkyo but that’s not a fair comparison as that only had 20wpc, but I can hear a real difference.
The fm tuner is especially good, but actually cuts off completely rather than going fuzzy.
Some negatives
I find the screen much less impressive and less useful than I would have thought. I suspect Ceol screen would be best if that important .
i don’t like the absence of a clock when off.
i don’t like the extra standby power consumption to allow rapid startup.
Wifi reception strength is mediocre.
the App could do with some work, for example pull the FM favourite names from RDS instead of calling them FM1 etc.
So in short I like mine. I was probably actually saving for Marantz at the time, but happy with my choice .
