Works with Alexa

Paradigm DTS Play-Fi products now have “Works with Alexa” certification, meaning they can be controlled using voice commands given to an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, Fire TV Cube, or other Alexa voice command-enabled device. Alexa functionality is activated by using the Alexa app to enable the DTS Play-Fi skill. This links your Alexa account to "Works with Alexa" DTS Play-Fi compatible products like this one.

After installing the skill, Alexa will know your speaker by name and allow you to control volume and playback functions such as track skip, mute, pause, and stop or request a song to play in a specific room or group of rooms linked together. Once an Alexa voice command is used to start audio playback, the DTS Play-Fi app can be used to dynamically add more products to the streaming session. Additionally, Alexa's Routines feature can be used to create events that initiate audio playback on your DTS Play-Fi speaker, such as setting up your speaker to work as an alarm clock by starting your favorite song.

I have used 3 of these in my home over the last 18 months in conjunction with a high end amp (Anthem MRX1120 ) which had built in Play-fi. They allow multiple amps to stream the same content in various places at a master volume or individual volumes, a real joy to hear when you go from the living room to the bedroom to fold laundry and the music continues. At 100 wpc, they have always had more power than needed and are compact and the sound has been great. These do have the Anthem Room Correction and come with a mic, which is a powerful tool (it initiates various noises, listens to the mic, and corrects the output to prevent unwanted room feedback). The Play-fi app promised to be amazing but had severely limited functionality of the programs I normally stream (e.g. Pandora premium that allows individual song searches and playlists only shows up as radio stations in the app). I have used these with a self setup media server and that configuration was slow, but Tidal (lossless) did stream without issue. The value of the wireless, room to room (patio, living room, bedroom, garage) music has outweighed the terrible Play-fi app but I am hopeful it will improve. The devices prompt for updates every few weeks and a few minutes later your listening. I have experienced a few times initiating the app, music playing, and no sound or adding an amp without sound but a few times in 18 months playing multiple times a week may be acceptable, just restart the app. Enjoy.

The PW Amp is a well made, solidly built network amplifier. The sound is crisp and clear. The sound is amazing. It is compact and can be hidden away, as you do not have to access the front panel controls during use - use the Play-Fi app on your phone to set your music source and the volume. Sweet. Play-Fi allows me to play my music synchronously in multiple rooms as I also have an Anthem MRX-720 receiver. And it has ARC, which Sonos does not have. What does ARC do? From my listening to it, it locks up the sound stage. If you listen on your headphones, and then to the same music on your livingroom speakers, no doubt your livingroom will not give you the same sense of being able to locate instruments, or have the same sense of ambience from the recording. ARC removes the resonances in your room, which helps to take the room out of the listening equation, so as a result the sound stage improves. ARC removes bloat and boomyness by reducing the amplifier's output for those frequencies to compensate where your listening room has resonances. And every room has resonances. See https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc and put your room dimensions into the calculator. This is a great sounding network amplifier with a room compensation system found nowhere else.
