The 6000N Play is configured and operated via the Play-Fi app, which is available for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire phones and tablets, as well as for Apple and Android smartwatches and Windows PCs. It can also be streamed directly from Spotify via Spotify Connect and is DLNA and UPnP compatible. The component itself features only minimal controls - just the standby button and six preset buttons. These presets work just like those on a DAB or FM tuner. Simply select an internet radio station or a playlist from a compatible streaming service and save it as a preset for quick access - no app required.
This ease of use, combined with the versatility of Play-Fi, is key to the appeal of the 6000N Play. For some, it is the perfect way to stream music from Spotify, Tidal, and Deezer, with all the additional features of Play-Fi, including multi-room audio. For others, it simply provides the opportunity to add radio to their HiFi system, with a wide range of stations available over the internet.
