Three S/PDIF inputs, an asynchronous USB interface, and an Ethernet port make this versatile amplifier a snap to use with a dizzying array of files and a vast array of equipment, from TV sound bars to disc players and outboard DACs.

"I've been recommending Vena IIs (and VA-Ones) to non-audiophile friends as a no-brainer answer to creating affordable, pleasurable, painless systems; now I can add the Vena II Play for those that insist on going wireless. It really is a dazzlingly accomplished answer to the modern needs of people who don't want traditional separates, and I can only marvel at its fool-proof connectivity."
