Stellar price for this Network AV receiver whether you are interested in Dolby Atmos or not.

Like last years VSX-924 at the heart of it lies a 24-bit ES9006S SABRE DAC usually reserved for higher end receivers in the likes of the Yamaha Aventage range of receivers, as well as Pioneer Elite receivers.

Whilst obviously not having the same high-end power transformer filters and caps of such, it is this DAC which sets it apart from the competing mid-range bracket of £500 AV Receivers, at £289 it is a steal of a price.

The rest of the blurb :-

Engineered for Dolby Atmos sound
Optimised for Dolby Atmos, you can be amongst the first to experience the wonder of Dolby Atmos in your own home. Producing a multi-dimensional and totally immersive sound, Dolby Atmos has been hailed as the greatest advance in surround sound for 20 years - so don't miss out!

4K video scaling
Making the VSX930 the perfect match for your 4K TV, it offers both 4K pass-through and Full HD 4K upscaling. This means that any HD video source you watch can be scaled up to the highest definition possible. With support for HDCP 2.2 it's also compatible with current and future 4K video.

HD sound
At the heart of the Pioneer VSX-930 is a Direct Energy amplifier. Direct Energy amps use short signal paths throughout for purer and more dynamic sound quality. The VSX930 also makes a superb choice for listening in High Definition. It 's compatible with multi-channel FLAC and WAV files at up to 96kHz/24-bit. In stereo mode, WAV, FLAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless files at 192 kHz/24-bit are all supported, as is DSD.

Totally networked with Bluetooth, AirPlay and Wi-Fi
Now with Wi-Fi built-in, it's even easier to connect up the VSX930 to your home network. Added to this is Apple's AirPlay; letting you wirelessly stream music from any compatible Apple device - without the need for a separate home hub. The Bluetooth receiver supports streaming from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC or other Bluetooth source. DLNA streaming gets you access to music stored on your PC, laptop or NAS and plays it through the receiver. There's also access to Internet radio and music services such as Spotify Connect, making the VSX-930 a fully comprehensive streamer.

All the connections, including twin HDMI outputs
Boasting seven HDMI sockets, including one at the front, it's easy to connect your whole system to the VSX930. The front HDMI socket is also compatible with MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) giving you the ability to transfer 1080p Full HD video from your smartphone or tablet. Added to this are twin HDMI outputs, making the VSX930 ideal for using with both a TV and a projector or AV in a second room. The Pioneer also features an active Zone 2 output that's perfect for speakers in another room.

Easy set-up
Despite packing a lot of tech in, the VSX930 is easy to set-up and use. Pioneer's unique MCACC Pro (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) system will tune the amplifier to the size of listening room and speaker placement, at the touch of a button. It also offers full support of the Dolby Atmos format.

Much more than just a hub for your home cinema system, the Pioneer VSX930 gives you access to the highest standards of both sound and vision.
