I have a sizeable CDs collection which I would like to be able to stream into a multiroom speaker system. Is that possible? What do I need? Any advice on good wifi/bluetooth speakers for multiroom, on a modest budget.
Nice stuff there Tom.Thanks Gray. Yes I am playing through an equally ancient amp, a PioneerA400X and Rodgers speakers. It does have a tape/record out connection.
I always wanted an A400 but I was about 18 at the time so couldn’t afford it.Thanks Gray. Yes I am playing through an equally ancient amp, a PioneerA400X and Rodgers speakers. It does have a tape/record out connection.
Bluetooth is not really that good as it limits the band with. (Or has a reduced bandwidth) when compared to WiFi and the original CD.Thank you all for your helpful advice and for your nice comments. As something of a Neanderthal in all this hi-tech advice, can I attempt to summarise the recommendations you have kindly made?
-Best option may be to rip all my CDs - (not something I's be keen on)
-Direct wiring can be an inobtrusive answer (I'd be divorced if I trail more wires around the house)
-A streamer like Audio Pro Addon C10 or similar Sonos product would link to my amplifier via the Tape out connection and stream the CDs to remote speakers.
It has been suggested to me to plug a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter into the cd player or the amplifier and this will transmit a signal from the CD player to the speakers. Would that work?
In that case, I recommend you get a few echo speakers from Amazon and experiment with Amazon Audio or Spotify. Send them back when you understand how it works. Then choose some higher quality audio tech that works in a similar way.To answer @shipworm-archaism-recede , I'd normally be using a Samsung RC520 or Asus X515 laptop or a Samsung A50 mobile.
There must be some device (believe I saw something somewhere once) that would do uncompressed point to point digital transmission of audio.Is there something that does what the AV:Link does , but better? I'm sure there are many options for speaker improvement? Active or passive?
