AUDIOLAB 6000N PLAY
What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision India
|June 2022
Had Einstein been alive today, we could just picture him drawing up his next theory of quantum physics while listening to the Audiolab 6000N Play.
-

Audiolab’s first standalone music streamer would certainly have fitted Albert’s philosophy that a “simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone” – aesthetically, the 6000N Play is as unassuming as hi-fi streamers come, with a screenless, largely unadorned chassis that gives nothing of its vast network talents away.
But behind that modest façade, the 6000N Play has every right to exude an air of quiet confidence.

The 6000N Play uses the same DAC chip (ES9018 Sabre32 Reference) found in the 6000A amplifier (and the company’s Award-winning M-DAC), which we have previously praised for its ability to present a capable and composed sound.
With the talents of the 6000 Series siblings stopping short of network streaming smarts, the 6000N Play is left to create its own heart and soul. The foundation of its streaming experience, though, is actually based on another’s creation: DTS’s Play-Fi hi-res, multi-room platform.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe
There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
