The Pioneer SX-626 was an early 70s HiFi receiver which had that classic wood case and silver faceplate. This was my first receiver which I had when I was a kid, and I recently restored one.
Adding AirPlay 2 support to existing amplifiers and receivers is simple and cost effective. Simply add an AirPort Express (2nd Gen) to an audio input and instantly stream to your older equipment.
