NTS Radio Player brings internet radio to your hi‑fi, with tactile controls and streaming support

NTS Radio and Swedish audio company Atonemo have released a dedicated NTS Radio Player ($179) that brings NTS’s hand‑picked internet mixes to almost any stereo or speaker setup via a 3.5mm output (with RCA adapter). It includes two direct‑tune buttons for NTS 1 and NTS 2, a 16‑detent dial, and supports AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, with other streaming options like Qobuz or Apple Music available as well.
