Description
QUAD Vena II Play
This is perhaps better seen as a capable and very compact integrated amplifier with benefits than a full-on streaming solution.
Armed with decent phono stage, digital inputs and bluetooth functionality, it’s useful on its own terms. The in-built, and rather clunky DTS Play-fi system seems better suited to music streaming than radio.
The bargain price includes UK mainland delivery.
Wireless Streaming Integrated Amplifier
The QUAD Vena II Play was the final addition to the best-selling QUAD Vena series of integrated amplifiers. It also heralded the arrival of wireless audio streaming and multi-room technology to the QUAD product portfolio. Based on the richly specified Vena II, the QUAD Vena II Play incorporates the acclaimed DTS Play-Fi® platform.
With DTS Play-Fi® Technology, music can be streamed over your wireless network in high-resolution format and can be easily expanded to an ultimate multi-room system if required. You can stream from any source on your wireless network, including smart-phones, tablets or PCs as well as a NAS Drive.
This example in Lancaster grey was supplied by us and has had one owner from new. Condition is very good with only the odd minor mark betraying that it’s not brand spanking new.
Offered in the appropriate packaging with free UK Mainland shipping and a 3 month warranty.
