How does one turn their beloved wired speaker system into a wireless system? Magic of course! Well no not really. As it turns out, ROCKI is becoming the more viable option as shown by the successful Kickstarter campaign.
2 December 2013, New York – Only a week into its very successful Kickstarter campaign, ROCKI announces that they have added a new model to their Wifi Multiroom Music System product lineup. Having secured funding on the first day, ROCKI said in their thank you message that they would soon be revealing their plans for the extra funding they are receiving.
Today ROCKI uncovers the first of those plans in the form of a step up model called the PLAY+, The PLAY+ addresses the audio enthusiasts that would use ROCKI with their digital amps / receivers / sound processors using an HDMI or Optical connection instead of the analog one the standard PLAY has. The PLAY+ still retains all the functions of the standard PLAY, incl. the 3.5mm / RCA connectivity that works with all speakers. This gives the PLAY+ the ability to connect to all speakers, as well as go one step further with perfect digital connection when possible.
