Stationary audio players

Players

— devices for playing audio from various sources — from an external device that broadcasts an audio signal, from a USB drive, from files on a built-in storage device, etc. The only exception in this regard is content from local networks and the Internet: devices with such capabilities are usually referred to as a separate category — network players (see the relevant paragraph). And the fundamental difference between all players and receivers is the absence of a power amplifier. Thus, passive acoustics can only be connected to such devices through additional equipment.
