Power and data is all sent via a mini-USB connector there’s no option for an external power supply, but thankfully, even over bus-power, the Play is loud, punchy, and offers good sound quality. For ‘pro’ use, I prefer the RCA jacks found here. It has two stereo outputs, both on RCA phono connectors, and there’s a switch to route the second output to the 1/4” headphone jack on the rear of the unit instead, meaning you can either drive two channels for external mixing, or a master output/headphone combo for internal mixing. Its all-plastic construction feels very solid in the hand, with no flex, and the volume knobs on top are equally reassuring. The Play is a very straightforward take on an audio interface, and that’s in its favor. Fortunately, we’ve found three great options – the Reloop Play, Traktor Audio 2 MK2, and Griffin DJ Connect – in the market around $100, so read our round-up and comparison inside. Controller DJs also need a good sound card, and can play a very decent set with just two channels of audio and a small controller like the Kontrol X1. With so many great DJ apps out on iOS, there is a need for affordable sound cards that can provide both headphone and master outputs for phones or tablets.
