Hi, I have moved my Pro-Ject turntable to a new room and plan to add active speakers (e.g. Steljes Audio NS3) to the setup. I would like to stream my owned music and internet radio to them. I already have a Chromecast in another room which would work perfectly but recently discovered that Google have stopped making them.
Question: can anyone recommend an alternative to Chromecast audio for streaming music from my android handset (e.g. through iBroadcast, BBC Sounds and Replaio radio)?
I've seen some alternatives such as the SONOS Port but this is significantly more expensive than what was a ~£35 Chromecast Audio.
I would also prefer not to use bluetooth from my phone as it ties up my handset, drains the battery and also kills streaming apps due to the aggressive battery saving management.
I could get a Pure F3 internet radio but I only need the brains, not the amplifier and speaker hardware.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Will.
