Pioneer LX500


Has anyone heard or purchased the Pioneer LX 500. I would like to know if it is any good or in  the class of Oppo.

It looks like a good player with good reviews.  There are a couple of interesting points.  It doesn’t seem to have Oppo’s Network function.  With my Bluesound currently dead, I’ve been using my Oppo machines to control my NAS.
   The other interesting point for me is the Quartz Lock feature, for which you need a matching Pioneer AVR.  Somehow this is supposed to increase SQ and there is no explanation as to how.  In my basement I currently am using a 14 year old Pioneer Elite DVD/SACD Player that connects to a Pioneer Elite AVR Of equal vintage through an “I link” which was developed by Sony and is a FireWire link between the players customized for Multichannel.  It seems as though Pioneer is still doing something like this.
