Phorus

Play-Fi

About this app

Phorus makes simple, great-sounding whole-home wireless audio systems for Android phones and tablets. Using DTS's breakthrough Play-Fi(R) technology, you can stream your favorite tunes over Wi-Fi right from the app to Phorus Speaker(s) and/or Phorus Receiver(s) connected to your existing stereo system. It's a huge step up from Bluetooth - the audio quality is outstanding, and you can enjoy music from your phone in one room, or all your rooms, anytime.

The "Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi" listening experience is just a touch away, thanks to this handy app. Choose a speaker, choose a song, and your favorite tunes are streaming all through the house. Enjoy advanced features like left/right stereo set up and multi-zone streaming, too.

The app offers a wide range of built-in streaming options: Use Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, SiriusXM, play anything from your music library, enjoy songs from DLNA servers on your home network, or choose among thousands of AM/FM/Internet Radio stations and podcasts (ESPN, Radio Disney, BBC to name a few).

The app also handles set-up for your speakers, and gives you full control of volume and speaker selection. Choose one, set up zones, or stream to all of them at once.

Please note that the Phorus app is companion software to the Phorus PS5 Speaker, the Phorus PS1 Speaker, the Phorus PR5 Receiver, the Phorus PR1 Receiver, and other products enabled with Play-Fi technology. It is not intended as a stand-alone audio player.

Ratings and reviews

Updates ruined it. Took away features that worked for years. Internet radio (service) was free without login. They removed that service and replaced it with the apocryphal TuneIn which requires login and is full of adds. Still does not support .wma file format. Please! Stop "fixing" what isn't broken. Please! Do the right thing and think of your users and be good humans.

Got my Polk SB1soundbar to play hifi wifi when no other app would. Shame on Polk Audio Inc. For allowing their apps to be broken for 3 YEARS and despite all the complaints they don't fix but rather make the soundbar app an ad for their newest model! SHAME! SHAME ON POLK AUDIO INC. Playfi is the only method to play the highest quality audio possible on this soundbar as it lacks and hdmi port.

never get connected or very chopped sound output even wifi router indicated the phorus playfi inside the same network. I have the most updated version of firmware and apps..... However, just found that it may be due to signal strength issue which is not indicated by the apps. Suggest the apps to make warning on the signal strength to user
