Hi mweb, I thing the best product I know today for a central wireing is the Russound C5 where you have 8 different stereo zone with 2x20W each also controlled by remote app via ethernet.
For a distributed approach I saw this: http://openrb.com/streaming-player/ (see at products) complete product for DIN rail, control interface to KNX, streaming with DAC and amplifier, .... have a look. I don't know the price and how it works. In a house 2.0 the audio system is not just a multiroom system, it's also perfect linked with the logic of the smart house. It's an additional interface toward the habitants. If I stand at the door and want to leave the house it can tell me which window is still open. Or if it's raining, the house can tell me which window should be closed. It could tell you many other things. If you like, it's just SW. Somebody like this, other other events to be announced by voice. It's just an mp3 file which is played by the house logic like KNX or others. If the telefon rings the audio volume goes down to 10% and if you on-hook back to previous volume. For such an approuch you need a central control that's the reason why LMS becomes my favorit. Not only for me :) It sounds a bit future, but it's real today in many households. Another thing is also important to cover, a surround system with 5.1 or 7.1. This must behave as all other players. My thought ....
