Definitely could reupdate to have bluetooth 5.0, aptx HD, higher Bitrate Flac file playback on USB, Parametric EQ and more SPL proof to start. Its still a solid unit but it will be showing its age soon enough.Why replace something that's already badass?
You got any demo vids of the silverflutes alone?I bought two right when they came out. Still working fantastic. The screen goes black for a few seconds with anything over a 155db but it doesn't effect anything really.
I do not. I'll have to make one though.You got any demo vids of the silverflutes alone?
With all that said, send Pioneer an email of your suggestions. Who knows, they may be cooking up something even better with all that than the 80PRS. But not everyone has or wants those features.Definitely could reupdate to have bluetooth 5.0, aptx HD, higher Bitrate Flac file playback on USB, Parametric EQ and more SPL proof to start.

done it a long time ago and recently. Its because people dont understand how those features work. newer generation bluetooth codecs and aptx will massively improve bluetooth sound quality to literally lossless transmission of audio files meaning streaming music whether lossless or mp3 there will be no difference compared to a CD with the same files. the current 80 prs's bluetooth codec is 3.0 which is outdated as f**k. How outdated? think 4 generations behind level of outdatedness. Every other pioneer line has Flac playback capability while the 80 prs is limited... Yes the spl crowd maybe the only one that the resistance to SPL feature would cater to specifically but everyone else uses USB or bluetooth so its the mass majority.With all that said, send Pioneer an email of your suggestions.

its not a software issue, its hardware issue. The parts are outdated. Doesnt matter what kind of firmware you download, if the actual head unit doesn't have the chip built in, its a no go.I'm guessing the 80PRS can't be updated with current "software"? Kinda like updating computer or playstation gaming console. And as I type this would need some sort of internet connection. Maybe that's it....internet port to be able to update software to HU..
