I feel this thread needs to be answered more, and maybe even answered by What HiFI professionals in the magzines next issue. There is so much loose data flying around.
Can it really be that expenseive to stream audio from a pc to my Hi Fi, without directly plugging it in?
To me sonas seems top end, squeeze box mid end.
where is the budget option? I feel that this is the future, napster/spotify. There will soon be a service and product to make everything easier. But im like the OP here there are surprisingly hardly any options.
Im currently looking into Napster. it seems a incredible service , £5 = 5 songs and umlimited supply of music...by by cd collection by by CD player...but. What is the quality of these tracks like?
I have a Sonos ZP90 connected to my NAS drive and router which I control with my iTouch, all in for 400 quid and plays all my music, has internet radio and does music services (don't know about Spotify though). If you have an Iphone/iTouch then all you need is the Zoneplayer which if you shop around you can get for £250.00 which a pretty resonable price for what you get.
