With DTS Play-Fi technology, the Phorus PS5 Speaker streams high-quality audio with lossless accuracy over Wi-Fi, allowing the user to create a whole home audio system with literally just a few touches. Use the elegant, easy-to-use Phorus App for Android, Kindle Fire and iOS to set up and control the speaker and enjoy integrated streaming of locally stored music, music from DLNA servers, Internet Radio from around the world (including local AM/FM stations and BBC, WSJ , Radio Disney , and ESPN Radio ), and popular music services such as Pandora , SiriusXM , Songza , Deezer , KKBox , QQMusic and more.

Notably, with the DTS Play-Fi HD Driver for Windows, users can stream music from any application on a PC, including Google Music , Spotify , and Xbox Music Live, to all the Play-Fi enabled speakers in your home.

In addition to Play-Fis multi-room, multi-zone and multi-user features, the Phorus PS5 Speaker supports direct streaming via Bluetooth (including AptX and AAC codecs), for Windows phones and other devices, and accepts AirPlay streams from OSX , iTunes , and iOS devices, meaning no one at home will miss out on the convenience of wirelessly streaming music from his or her favorite apps and devices. Wi-Fi streaming is handled by the latest 802.11a/b/g/n radio which supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. The PS5 avoids pesky interference from microwaves, radios, security cameras, and other common household devices for uninterrupted listening.

Featuring premium DTS Sound, the PS5 is custom tuned for peak performance. Renowned DTS post-processing restores rich details, enhances bass and gets maximum volume from your music. An advanced dual-core DSP and Class-D digital amplifiers dynamically deliver incredible sound quality at every level.
