I want to buy a music streaming device/renderer to use in a spare room to feed into a tradtional amplifier using music files stored on my QNAP NAS/Twonky Media. I thought this would have been a simple task but it seems not. At present I use a tablet for the job, but am tiring of connecting it each time and not being able to use the tablet while listening to music. I don't want anything complex or part of a multi functional device. I don't have an ethernet connection in that room.
The devices I have considered so far are the Denon DN-200WS (£60) which I bought but need to return, because though it would do the job eventually, it was far too fickle and ended up being far more of a pain than using the tablet. I have also considered the Icy Box ICY IB-MP401Air (£36), but this does not support gapless playback.
The features I need are: Wireless, supports gapless playback, supports flac, controllable with BubbleUPNP on android. Reatailers are not much help as they want to sell me a mainstream product for around £200-300, but I don't need that as I do have a solution that works if a little inconvenient so I'm not prepared to spend much, but the two items I indicated are a guide price.
