Once, the classification of devices was based on the concept of source: turntable, CD player, tuner, tape deck. Today, players are much more versatile and integrate functions that were once distributed across separate devices.
Multi-format players are devices that play content from physical or local digital sources, such as USB sticks, SD cards, CDs, DVDs, and Bluetooth. They are ideal for installations requiring audio files to be managed directly from portable media or mobile devices.
Network audio players are designed to play content from the local network: web radio, streaming from NAS servers, DLNA/UPnP protocols, or online services. They offer greater flexibility when the source is not a physical media but a digital stream distributed over the network.
Wi-Fi streamers receive music via Wi-Fi from smartphones, tablets, or streaming services, often with support for protocols such as AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth Wi-Fi bridge, or dedicated Apps. They are designed to create multi-room systems or integrate wireless functionality into existing systems.
