Play-Fi streams audio directly from source devices to the speakers, and supports a wide variety of streaming formats and audio quality levels.


Supported File Formats

  • .mp3 (MPEG Layer III)
  • .aac and .m4a (Advanced Audio Coding / Apple Lossless)
  • .flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
  • .wav (Waveform Audio File)


File Quality

  • Up to 24-bit/192 kHz (Ultra-high resolution).
  • High-resolution files up to 16-bit/48 kHz  are streamed with bit-for-bit accuracy, with zero compression or transcoding. With ultra high-resolution files, Play-Fi down-samples the audio to 16-bit/48 kHz for transmission. This allows for the most reliable streaming experience over Wi-Fi to multiple speakers.
  • 24-bit/192kHz over hard wire ethernet, or dedicated 'listening mode' (firmware update)
