I'm a die-hard Squeezebox fan, but with Sonos PLAY:1 going for as little as $135 right now, it would be hard to recommend anything else. Buy a few for the key rooms and add on as you can afford. If you want higher fidelity, get a Play:5. If you want to plug it into an existing receiver/HTIB, get a Sonos Connect. If you want Alexa support, buy a Sonos One. Each room can be its own zone, or you can synchronize them however you like. You can add a second speaker in a zone and configure them as stereo. No server required; just copy your music to a portable hard drive and hang it off your wireless modem, if possible. Control via smartphone/tablet app. Supports internet radio and music streaming services, too.
Another cool option are the Google Home devices. I have one and it sounds surprisingly good; the Google Home Max should be even better. Logitech Media Server can make your local music library available to these players. For that matter, if you're running LMS on a PC somewhere on your network then you can add however many zones you like using an inexpensive Raspberry Pi player or any device that supports DLNA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109764 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
