I believe the origin of all these nifty devices can be traced back to the original Slim Devices Squeezebox, not anything from Sonos.
Arcam has incorporated DTS PlayFi as well as Apple AirPlay and UPnP, which allow a host of options up to 24/96 resolution. Arcam says Amazon Alexa-related devices will also be added shortly, and control is via a choice of Android, or iOS apps. For those wanting instant gratification, there are volume up/down buttons on top.
On the back are both fixed and variable outputs, digital out for using an external DAC and ethernet networking jack. The rPlay feels solid in the hands and will be available in March for $599.
