yes that is right, as in currently and proposed. The only thing to add
is my pi is in the spare room with my modem and desktop, connected via
this

to my squeezebox, amp and speakers in the other room.

Ideally, it would be a straight swap amp for music centre. I will cross
the problem of where to place it etc later, if it works and if I like it
better.

But I am open to alternative ideas such as utilising the pi directly
nearer the squeezebox or straight into the music centre if it sounds
better or is less complicated. 

If for some reason I still prefer my current set up, I will buy a small
set of speakers and put the music centre somewhere else, I have kept a
box of LP's for nostalgia etc, classic ones. I will definitely not be
letting this music centre go again.

So I also need to think about using my current KEFQ300 speakers with the
music centre if I put into permanently into the system, they will be too
powerful but I think unless I drive them too much they will be fine
(unlikely in the house).

But as you say Ronnie, first things first, I need to get them and make
sure it all works properly. However it can be done which is all I wanted
to know, its on the way, I wish I had taken it back years ago.
