Yes I was thinking about the duet but they are still not cheap at
around $150 to $200 AU.
I could just go for a BOom which I could probably get for around $75
second hand and move the Jongo upstairs but the sound is soooo good on
the jongo, although I tested a Chromecast last night running into a
small DAC then in to the Jongo and the sound expanded exponentially :).

I have a duet that I use for the garden which is housed in the garage, I
could just bring that inside for now (summer is over now) and hopefully
within the next 6-8 months someone like Phillippe can expand on the
chromecast plugin or the sqeeze play bridge to allow for sync, and I can
always just use my phone outside which runs squeezeplay if I need to use
outside and sync.

anyway loads of options to think about but so far the boom (watching on
ebay currently $25 au) or duet from garage is the way to go, I priced up
a Raspberry build and its expensive for this solution at around $180
-$210 by the time you purchase the case, board, power, DAC, shipping.
