Because OSX devices don’t support DLNA, a third party software
(ex. Twonky, Plex or Servio) must be downloaded for them to be visible
to the network. Once downloaded, all locally stored content on OSX-based
devices will show up within the Definitive Technology app under
“Media Server.”

as simple as pushing a button or two. Add more speakers, a sound bar,

Maximum number of rooms/zone supported:
Eight separate wireless source devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.), each
with its own source, are supported simultaneously and any wireless source
device can stream to 8 playback devices. Due to bandwidth limitations of
most wireless networks, we do not recommend more than 16 wireless Play-Fi
products on the Wi-Fi network at a given time. With hard-wired Ethernet
connections (customary for audio/video racks or in custom installation
configurations), up to 256 devices can be theoretically supported. Call the
Aficionado hotline for more information.

Primary vs. Secondary Speakers
Once inside the Definitive Technology app, you will notice that when sending
music to your devices, they are grouped into primary and secondary zones.
The DTS Play-Fi software requires that a primary speaker be selected to create
a new listening session or zone. This is designed to maximize synchronization
down to 1 millisecond, thereby eliminating any sound echo that can be found
from other ecosystems.

Our recommendation for your listening environment is to always select as your
primary device the Play-Fi enabled product with the strongest signal strength.
Note, however, that secondary speakers are connected to your primary
speaker. As such, if you disable your primary speaker, your secondary
speakers will likewise be temporarily disabled until a primary speaker is
once again selected.
