Just download the app on a device like a tablet, start the setup mode, and press the “set-up” button on the back of the 6000N Play. All Play-Fi devices are interoperable you can play music to one at a time, or several at the same time. Play-Fi gear is available from a variety of brands in a variety of form factors like the SVS Prime Wireless speakers I reviewed earlier this year, or you can get it in amplifiers, soundbars, etc. The app initiates playback on the 6000N Play, or any other Play-Fi enabled product. You control all operations from the Play-Fi app, which you must install on your iOS, Android, Amazon, or Windows device. Like many Play-Fi products, the 6000N doesn’t come with a remote. You can also stream from a NAS drive or computer that resides on the same network. It doesn’t need a lot of buttons because it leaves the heavy lifting to the DTS Play-Fi platform, a multi-room wireless system that allows you stream audio from all around the internet. You use them just like preset buttons on a car stereo, holding them down once you have the station you want to save tuned in. The 6000N comes in two colors, black or silver (they sent me the black), and there are only seven buttons on the front: one power button and six preset buttons for saving internet stations. There’s no screen, but competitors at this price don’t have one either. Just like its more expensive sibling, the 6000N has a clean, no-nonsense look that comes across as high-end, regardless of its sub-$1000 price tag. Like the 6000A Integrated, the 6000N Play is a study in minimalist, industrial design. The one I have is a loaner, and it will be sent back after my review is complete. The 6000N Play is priced at $599 here in the U.S., which puts it in the middle of the pack for streamers in general, but to me, that price also places it on the low end of the “premium” tier, with products like the rPLAY from Arcam and the NODE 2i from Bluesound. Being a digital guy, I think it’s not only a perfect companion for the 6000A, but It’s also an excellent Wi-Fi streamer for anybody looking to bring high-quality, high-resolution audio into their system without spending a ton of money. Thankfully I was able to get my hands on one. After having such a pleasant experience with that product, I knew I had to take a listen to the matching 6000N Play Wireless Audio Streaming Player. I loved it so much I ended up buying the review unit. If you read my review of Audiolab’s 6000A Integrated Amp, you know I’m a big fan of that “Entry Level” amplifier.
