Remarks

hifi & records issue 1/2013: "... Even Pioneer can not conjure up miracle devices and must bow to the calculative realities. However, real limitations are not recognizable, neither in the workmanship, which is without fault, nor in the equipment, which is not often found on this scale, even with more expensive components. ...“

Stereo Heft 8/2012: Price/Performance: "excellent" (4 out of 5 stars) "Great workmanship, agile playing nature and a wonderfully open, yet pleasantly velvety character: simply everything is right about Pioneer's PD-30."

HiFi Test Heft 4/2012 (July/August): score 1.1; upper class; price/performance: "excellent"; "sound tip"; "Plus: SACD compatible, USB input, iPhone/iPod compatible. Minus: -."
