Simple, Great Sounding, Powerful Wireless Audio Streaming Player
The Audiolab 6000N Play is a wireless audio streaming player that's the latest member of the acclaimed Audiolab 6000 Series of components. It is the ideal way to add high-performance wireless streaming to any home audio system.
The 6000N Play combines the versatility of the DTS Play-Fi wireless audio platform with Audiolab’s sonic know-how to deliver a great-sounding Wi-Fi streaming solution that is simple to set up and use. You can stream from any source on your wireless network – smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs, as well as NAS drives and music servers – utilizing the 6000N Play’s dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi. The 6000N also connects wirelessly with other Play-Fi-equipped devices, enabling a fully synchronized multi-room set-up.
"You Need This Spellbinding Hi-fi Music Streamer!"
The 6000N Play won a top rating of Five Stars from England's What Hi-Fi? magazine, which notes, "The Play is a great, affordable way to implement streaming into your system without compromising sonic quality – and with the added bonus of being able to slip into your hi-fi rack inconspicuously. Quite frankly, it’s the best budget solution we’ve had the pleasure of meeting."
"You need this spellbinding hi-fi music streamer!" exclaims Hi-fi Trends. "Audiolab has done it again with another well-designed component that gives you high-end performance without breaking the bank."
A Wealth of Internet Music Services
The Audiolab 6000N Play provides access to a wealth of internet music services, including Spotify, Tidal, HDtracks, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Napster, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM, to name a few. You might choose to browse a radio guide listing thousands of stations and podcasts, or stream from a home media server with DLNA compatibility. The 6000N Play is hi-res audio enabled, capable of receiving data up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution over Wi-Fi – well in excess of CD quality – without transcoding or down-sampling.
DAC Stage with Ultra-Low Noise and High Dynamic Range
The 6000N Play incorporates a high-quality DAC utilizing the same ES9018 Sabre32 Reference chip found in the highly acclaimed Audiolab 6000A integrated amplifier. ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, coupled to Audiolab’s own circuitry, delivers ultra-low noise and high dynamic range. The circuit design also draws inspiration from Audiolab’s 6000CDT CD transport, incorporating the same isolated power supply with a high- efficiency toroidal transformer for optimum signal purity.
The inclusion of a DAC stage ensures the 6000N Play can be used with any audio system. Simply connect the RCA analog outputs to a regular amplifier, or a pair of active speakers. Alternatively, take a digital feed (optical or coaxial) direct to an external DAC, or an amp with digital inputs such as Audiolab’s 6000A. Naturally, the 6000A is an ideal partner for the 6000N Play. When these two components are paired digitally, an optical or coaxial cable is used to convey the audio signal while a supplied USB control cable enables control of the 6000N Play via the 6000A’s remote handset.
Direct Streaming Made Simple
The 6000N Play is configured and operated via the Play-Fi app, available for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire phones and tablets, as well as Apple and Android smartwatches and Windows PCs. It can also stream directly from Spotify via Spotify Connect, and is DLNA and UPnP compliant. There are minimal controls on the component itself – just the standby button and a set of six’ preset’ buttons. These presets operate exactly like those on a DAB or FM tuner. Simply select an internet radio station, or a playlist from a compatible streaming service, and store it as a preset for speedy access. No app required.
This operational simplicity, coupled to Play-Fi’s versatility, is key to the 6000N Play’s appeal. It is the perfect way to stream music from the likes of Spotify, Tidal and Deezer, with all the additional functionality of Play-Fi including multi-room audio. Additionally, it is simply the best way of adding radio to your hi-fi system, with the huge choice of stations available via the internet.
