Pioneer happily joins the AirPlay gang with the VSX-1021 AV receiver

Pioneer, a leading brand when it comes to audiophile and AV products, has joined Apple’s AirPlay bandwagon. Here’s their first AirPlay-enabled product, the VSX-1021 AV receiver. It’s the first of eight AirPlay receivers from Pioneer for this year.
It’s a 7.1 channel affair that supports wireless playback of iTunes libraries so long as you fork over a few extra dollars for the AS-WL300 wireless LAN adapter. You’ll also need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or a Mac / PC with iTunes 10.1+, and the new AVR should show up immediately as an available AirPlay device.
Pioneer will happily sell you one for $549.
