I am in the middle of building a house and have an idea for a multi audio system I would like to install. I am a little new to this so would I really appreciate any ideas suggestions or if what Im thinking of makes any sense at all. To start off my requirements(whish list!) are: Ability to play stream the same music to different rooms. Ability to stream different music to different rooms. Remotely control via laptop\tablet\possibly phone app. Connect to media server. Stream from internet Radio.
What I am thinking of is: Media Server: HP Proliant Microserver running Ubunty with Logitech Media Server installed (This I already have in place) Speakers: In ceiling speakers all running back to a cabinet in the Utility room Player: Each set of speakers would be connected to a mini-amp and each mini-amp to a Raspberry-Pi with USB sound card. The idea is each Pi would act as an audio player for each room, and as there will also be a network switch in the cabinet they call all be patched into it directly. Speakers and Amps is not an area I am familiar with so based on what Ive dug up what I am thinking of going with is something along the lines of a set of Apart CM608 speakers connected to a Ta-2020 T-Amp for each room. If anyone has any suggestions as to whether this is a good/bad/awful idea I would appreciate your input or suggestions. Budget is a factor, but I would still like to have a pretty decent multi room system in place.
