• Supports iOS 7 or later for setup using Wireless Accessory Configuration
• AirPlay works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 4.3.3 or later, Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later, and
PC with iTunes 10.2.2 or later
• For optimal Play-Fi streaming experience, a wireless router rated at least N600 is recommended
NOTE:
Files up to 16-bit/48 kHz are streamed without compression or transcoding. High resolution audio files
(24-bit/192kHz), are down-sampled to 16-bit/48kHz for transmission. This allows for the most reliable streaming
experience over Wi-Fi to multiple speakers.
For those who wish to hear high resolution audio as originally intended, Critical Listening mode in the DTS
Play-Fi app will enable native rendering of high resolution files up to 24/96, without down-sampling or network
synchronization adjustment. In this way, audio files retain their original audio integrity. For more details regarding
the Critical Listening mode please refer to https://play-.com/faq/entry/critical-listening-mode.
