Quad Vena II Play Integrated Amplifier/DAC - Lancaster Grey

A classic piece of Quad Hi-Fi equipment in both looks and sound, and, although styled with a definite nod to the past designs of the company this Vena II Play is bang up to date with its features. On offer is wireless streaming through the well regarded DTS Play-Fi® platform as well as a DAC that can take a signal direct via USB from a computer. Add to that an assortment of digital and analogue inputs allied to a classic QUAD sound - what’s not to like? Our example comes in good, fully working condition - noting a couple of small blemishes, in its original packing with remote control, manual, mains cable, antennas and our classic three month warranty.

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.
