Verdict: "On paper, the Audiolab 6000A Play shows plenty of promise and that mostly translates in practice. A well-featured streaming amplifier that is easy to use and entertaining to listen to, it offers a decent option for anyone looking for a simple just-add-speakers machine.
It may not quite reach the class-leading standard of the products in Audiolab’s 6000 Series with which it shares its DNA, but this is still an excellent idea well executed."
