It's the second generation S VS wireless smart integrated amplifier. Not only can it play just about any high-resolution audio file you send to it, but this 300-watt class D amplifier powers your speakers easily for outstanding sound. Connect it to standard speakers, and it becomes a DTS Play-Fi zone with reference sound (i.e. uncompressed) quality that can stream from numerous music services like Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and others.
But this SVS does more than stream via Play-Fi. The Pro SoundBase can stream directly via WiFi. It can play audio using Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast. Moreover, the WiFi Critical Listening mode doesn't have the same bandwidth limitations and can handle up to 24bit/192 kHz, for the highest resolution audio.
The Pro SoundBase also has several ports to connect to other hardware sources, instantly transforming them into Play-Fi streaming devices-and it does all of this for under $700.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?
