Arcam rPlay Wi-Fi Streaming DAC Announced
The rPlay is the latest addition to Arcam's extensive rSeries and adds network audio streaming services and internet radio to any system.
Using DTS PlayFi, Apple Airplay and UPnP enabled music sources this up there as one of the most comprehensive streaming solutions in its (£399) price category

DTS Play-Fi supports high resolution audio (24bit/192kHz) from a wired network and enables lossless multi-room wireless audio streaming from the most popular music services including Amazon Prime Music, Deezer, Napster, Qobuz, Pandora, Spotify and Tidal as well as thousands of internet stations.

Beginning in early 2017, users will be able to use an Alexa-enabled device, including the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap and Amazon Fire TV, to play and control music on one or more DTS Play-Fi enabled devices in the home, regardless of brand.

The rPlay uses a layout optimised for low noise and minimum distortion; the four-layer PCB design maximises the quality of the ground plane in order to further reduce interference between components. Multiple low noise individually regulated power supplies deliver the cleanest signal to the audiophile quality output stage. As well as a fixed line level analogue output, the rPlay also features a variable analogue output which uses the same expensive volume control as the A49 flagship amplifier.

Key Features
