Breakthrough DTS Play-Fi(R) technology powers simple, great-sounding whole-home wireless audio systems for smartphones and tablets. You can stream your favorite tunes over Wi-Fi right from the Play-Fi app to speakers from DTS Play-Fi product partners. It's a huge step up from Bluetooth - the audio quality and reliability are outstanding, and you can enjoy music from your phone in one room, or all your rooms. The "Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi" listening experience is just a touch away, thanks to this handy app. Choose a speaker, choose a song, and your favorite tunes are streaming all through the house. The app offers built-in streaming options: stream from worldwide music services; use AM/FM and Internet radio, connect to DLNA servers, or play anything from your device's music library, including your iTunes playlists. The app automatically organizes and indexes the music for you. The app also handles set-up for your speakers, and gives you full control of volume and speaker selection. Choose one, set up speaker groups, or stream to all of them at once. Manage speaker groups for Spotify Connect, too. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Play-Fi product from Polk Audio, Definitive Technology or Phorus, please search for and download the custom Play-Fi app for your audio brand. Please also note that the Play-Fi app is companion software to audio products enabled with Play-Fi technology. It is not intended as a stand-alone audio player.

Operating the app

I have enjoyed the app and my McIntosh speakers. I’m into it about a week now and have had minor learning difficulties and I stress minor.. I’m not a technical guy and this is my first go and this type of technology. It is different and takes a little to get use to but not frustrating. My only disappointment is that it will not play 100% of my purchases on iTunes. I am happy that I can play the satellite radio as well as local radio stations. Definitely more options than I was aware. I do recommend this and the speakers. I have two RS100 speakers and a self powered subwoofer. The sound is amazing for the investment. I didn’t even unpack my NAD system. Giving that to the less fortunate.. the kids.. 🤪

Play-Fi is a great app for streaming audio to high end equipment/speakers

I have 2 McIntosh RS100 speakers as a Sterio pair, and a Martin Logan Crescendo X powered speaker, as well as 3 McIntosh MB50 streaming units in 3 different stereo systems in my house. The Play-Fi app controls each speaker/system flawlessly and is operated from my Apple phone and separate Apple iPod Touch units which I bought for each room/system in my house as they make great remote controls, so that I do not have to use my Apple phone if I don’t have it in my pocket. Very convenient. Play-Fi has periodic updates for the app which continues to improve the app on a regular basis. I am and continue to be Very pleased with these high quality products/speakers which depend on the Play-Fi app for reliable control. Play-Fi app also has helpful suggestions and tips to help you in the set up process. I anticipate buying new products that use Play-Fi app control in the future as various high end audio companies hopefully will continue to offer new products to the market that incorporates the Play-Fi app.

Latest Update With The New Interface Software
11/09/2023

Abandoned by Definitive Speakers after spending thousand of dollars on their speakers. Will never purchase their speakers ever again. With the newest update, now when some of the single speakers volume level is changed (lowered or raised), it also changes the master volume level. It’s impossible to make a correction (raise or lower volume to balance a single speaker or stereo speakers) as it also changes the master volume. The new look and feel of the app has had a vast improvement, but the update of the software to all my 9 Definitive Speakers took over 3 hours. It was a constant struggle having to place some the speakers off line, back online, take some off of stereo, erased all my original saved streaming setup, try to recognize speakers that weren’t recognized, had 2 different names speakers that responded to the same test speaker, unplugged numerous speakers and plugged back in to reset, etc. if you have an issue, just start from scratch and that might help. But now everything works ok… until the next update!

DONT EVEN TRY THIS APP

This app is horrible. I bought a 600 dollar Paradigm speaker that is the same concept as Sonos and it never works. I currently have 9 sonos speakers in my house and they and the app are bullet proof. Works every time. I bought the Paradigm speaker because the sound quality is better than the Sonos. That is true the quality is a little better but the frustration with this app is not worth it. Every time I open the Play-Fi app is takes a few minutes to connect. Then randomly while listening to music it stops the music and says trying to reconnect.....and trying to reconnect......and again trying to reconnect. Then once it does work for 2 songs every time I get an email or txt it makes the tone through the speaker. Then guess what trying to reconnect. I went as far as buying an iPad mini that was just for playing music through this app and still same things. DO NOT USE THIS APP OR BUY ANYTHING RELATED TO IT. I threw the speaker away and went to Costco and got 2 more sonos play 1.
