SIMPLE AUDIO HAS released Roomplayer+, its new high resolution music streamer, which features synchronised music playback, direct NAS support, support for 24/192 uncompressed formats and a host of other new features.
The Roomplayers are designed by a group of senior designers and engineers (originally from Linn Products) who are focused on audiophile sound performance, precision engineering and modern techniques for opening up digital music in the home. As the latest in the series, the Roomplayer+, boasts a host of new standout features:
High resolution: Supports everything from MP3 tracks up to uncompressed high-resolution formats (up to 24/192).
Multi-library: Access to music libraries, music folders, even individual tracks stored on multiple devices around the home – from computers (PC/Mac) and NAS drives to smartphone, tablets and MP3 players.
Multi-user: Everyone can take advantage of the Roomplayer’s unique multi-user features to personalise their Roomplayer experience – perfect for music lovers in a family with varied music tastes.
Multi-room: Powerline technology integrated into every Roomplayer supports high-res streaming and multi-room connectivity – play different music in different rooms or create groups to synchronise music in rooms around the home.
Easy to control: Roomplayer apps display all the available music in the home, showing album artwork and offering plenty of ways to browse and search through albums, artists, tracks and composers.
Music discovery: New music is available via integrated music services and over 50,000 local and global radio stations on TuneIn – store favourites and create new playlists.
There are two Roomplayers+ models:
The ‘Roomplayer+ with Amp’ featuring an on-board Class D amp that outputs 50 Watts per channel that is designed for direct connection to a pair of loudspeakers.
The ‘Roomplayer+’ (no amp) with high performance signal handling and a high resolution DAC with all the analogue and digital connections needed to connect to a hi-fi system.
Both models are available now in NZ

Hey Ash, cool streamer, would look nice sitting next to an Audiant DP32 🙂 Do you have one for review? BTW, the LNZ link is wrong… should be http://www.lnzltd.com/. Cheers Clinton.
Hi Clinton
Thanks for the heads up re. the link – that’s sorted now 🙂
I’ve asked the LNZ team for a review unit – I reckon Mr. Steel would like to have a listen to one, he’s been muttering about streamers for ages…
Keen to hear Gary’s thoughts on it. Do you know if the USB port can be used as an audio output? That would make a killer combo with a capable USB DAC.
