However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Audiolab 7000N Play Network Audio Player is a new streaming module that allows you to play back audio over Wi-Fi or Ethernet with stunning clarity and high resolution. Whilst its role is the same as Audiolab's earlier 6000N player, the internal DAC of the 7000N has been improved with the addition of a next-generation ESS Sabre conversion chip, offering more dynamic range, so you can really feel the music. The 7000N pairs this DAC with a high-grade modulator and jitter-prevention circuitry, ensuring dropouts, artifacts, and noise floor are reduced to an inaudible minimum.
This Network Audio Player includes an LCD display with an inviting and configurable user interface, which you can use to display track information, format and sample rate, streaming service, and VU metering in either analogue or digital formats, for an inviting and accurate representation of your audio. This display lets you access a wide range of functionality too, including balance control, standby settings, output settings, and digital filtering.
The 7000N offers a range of control and connectivity options too, including support for the DTS Play-Fi app for an all-in-one streaming solution from almost any device, from smartphones and computers to NAS drives and personal media servers, with easy integration with any other Play-Fi compatible audio players in your home. Additional support for Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2 let you easily control and operate your system on your own terms.
Product Ref: 251930
The 7000N Play improves music streaming, making it compatible with Hi-Fi setups of all kinds. Whether you have a top-of-the-range Hi-Fi system, or a modest home entertainment system that you want to give a boost, this wireless network player will fit in great with anyone who loves the convenience of streaming services with audiophile sound quality. Compatible with multiple formats, platforms, and sources, you can stream your music however you like. With connectivity to DTS Play-Fi, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2, Audiolab's latest offering will let you stream however you like.
DTS' renowned Play-Fi system allows for high-resolution wireless streaming via both Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This connectivity being added to the 7000N allows you to easily stream from any source on your network. From smartphones to tablets, PCs to NAS drives or home media servers. Easily expandable into a multi-room system, Play-Fi lets you control and set up a full, cohesive home sound system. Compatible with streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, HD Tracks, Deezer, Amazon Music, Napster, Qobuz, and plenty more. Play-Fi also supports a wide range of audio codecs including MP3, MP4A, AAC, FLAC, WAV, and AIFF, with two listening modes offering 24-bit/192 kHz audio resolution, or a CD quality bandwidth-saving 16-bit/48 kHz resolution for multi-room use.
The 7000N Play offers a lot of new playback features that improve its sound for a marginal increase in pricing. Using a next-generation ES9038Q2M DAC converter chip from ESS instantly improves the clarity and dynamic range of the material you feed through it, adding much more depth to its sound. Pairing this with ESS Technology's HyperStream II and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator circuitry, your streamed signal remains stable, clear, and consistent, with a flat noise floor of 200 kHz and 10 dB lower distortion than comparable chips.
The 7000N also includes a unique LCD display that can communicate any kind of information you want. The streaming service is used, as the track format and sample rate, full track information. Analogue and digital VU metering modes are also available as commonly seen in retro Hi-Fi and high-end analogue studio equipment, or digital LED metering as seen in modern home audio equipment.
The 7000N Play also gives you menu access, so you can adjust visual elements like animations, brightness, and when the display is active. Further control over this network player's activity like 12V trigger activation and auto-standby options helps you save power when you're not listening. You can also customise your sound further, with adjustment over balance, fixed or variable output modes, 12V trigger activation, and digital filtering with five presets.
Whilst great for streaming, the internet age has provided us access to a staggering range of radio stations too. From Sirius XM and iHeartRadio to Pandora, there's so much on offer that the 7000N can let you listen to. An expanded Hi-Fi tuner for the modern age, you get all of your favourite radio programming as well as streaming, all utilising Audiolab's expertise for convenience and excellence in sound.
