The rPlay is the latest addition to the rSeries and allows you to add network audio streaming services and internet radio using DTS PlayFi, Apple Airplay or UPnP-enabled music sources. It also features an SPDIF output that can be connected to an AVR, such as the AVR850.

The four-layer PCB joins individually regulated power supplies and a fixed line level analogue output. The rPlay also features a variable analogue output which uses the same volume control as the A49 amplifier.

      As I say in the news piece, it won’t be out until February. After that, from any local Arcam dealer or anyone of a host of outlets online.
