DTS Play-Fi for effortless music streaming
DTS Play-Fi is a premium, wireless control system that brings everything under one 'roof'. Download the free app and you'll not only have access to Internet radio via Sirius XM but also popular music apps such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and Amazon Music. As well as streaming from music services, the 6000N Play also streams from NAS drives and PCs with DLNA support.
Multi-room talent
More than just a single zone streamer, Play-Fi offers the potential for full multi-room music. Simply add other Play-Fi compatible sources and you'll quickly be able to build up a comprehensive music system around your home - all under the control of a powerful app.
Easy access presets
With thousands of Internet radio stations out there, the 6000N Play makes it easy to find your favourites. Six presets, located on the front panel deliver quick access to your favourite stations – especially handy when you’re using your smartphone or tablet for other things.
6000-series sound quality
Using the same, top quality ESS Sabre32 DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) that’s used in the award-winning 6000A amp, this Audiolab music streamer get off to a head start. The DAC is also compatible with Hi-Res music files, giving the smoothest and most natural sound available.
Choose the output that’s best for you
As well as standard analogue RCA phono outputs, the 6000N Play comes equipped with both optical and coaxial digital outputs. This makes it ideal for connecting to any stereo or home cinema amp. It also gives you the option of upgrading to a dedicated DAC at a later date.
Smooth style
With its minimal button count, the 6000N Play looks pure and sleek in design. A choice of silver or black, blasted aluminium finish means that the player will fit in with a wide range of other hi-fi components – especially the other Audiolab 6000-series components.
Stream music to the highest standards, with the Audiolab 6000N Play.

Great sound and glitch free streaming.
Bought a week ago and once set up there have been no problems streaming from amazon music. Sound is very good played thru a Marantz 6000 amp (using analogue feed as the amp is 9 yrs old so decided to utilise the 6000N DAC.)
Set up was a bit of a pain trying to link an android phone but since then streaming has been 100% reliable and
glitch free. There is a short wait (20 seconds?) after turning on while it reaquires the wifi and you can't open the phone app till this occurs.
The app finds my amazon music account without fail but please note that while you can search and play new tracks through the app you cant build playlists or save tracks.
You can edit inside amazon music while playing thru the app with no problems though.
I was a bit worried when I read reviews complaining about streaming glitches and pauses between tracks but have not experienced either. I have hi speed fibre broadband which is v reliable so that may be why?
Overall a great buy and v satisfied.

New to streaming
Purchased the Audiolab 6000N a couple of weeks ago after much research and confusion.So glad that I went in store to speak to an advisor as he made things a lot clearer.Service and advice so good as usual as I have used this company over many years(since the days of their London Bridge branch).Took me about twenty five minutes to set up but was told any problems to set up give the store a call.Sound quality is faultless and easy to use the app.

I found it a bit confusing... understanding different led flashings to determine the status its a bit confusing having not done this before (you need to constantly read in the book to remind yourself what the flashings mean).. can one imagine how easier would be if there was a little screen telling you what is happening. For example the software needed upgrading, yes the unit picked it up by itself through it needed doing through the dts app but the user information was a bit poor to indicate what is happening. For me it took longer and i thought the update process has failed, so I end up disrupting the upload...
I have not gone through the whole set up but I read the instructions and it's not particularly clear how to lock certain internet radio stations to any of the memory buttons, i am not even sure if possible, i tried it but it did not remain in the memory. The other thing I found not clear (admittedly i have not understood it fully I need to get on it again) it appears the mobile phone with the dts app running will need to sit next to the unit in order to play an internet radio station. It is annoying if that is the case but I have not found a way how to set that up. If it is the case then it seems i have spent £500 to link my mobile phone to the musical system speakers, that would be annoying and rendering this unit a waste of money. Otherwise as all audolab products oozes quality.
