Hi Guys,
Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a wireless speaker for my bedroom that will stream music from my desktop PC in the living room.
Current setup:
- 1 bed flat (essentially 2 fair sized rooms - bedroom and living room/kitchen)
- Desktop PC in living room with all my music
- Denon UD-M31 mini system with Gale speakers plugged into PC via AUX in.
- I don't own an iPod. I don't use itunes.
- wireless n router covering whole flat
What I'd like is a speaker in my bedroom that can play songs off the PC library. I'd also want the option to play music in both rooms at the same time with the sound synced up. No need for the speaker to have the ability to select songs - think I can do that with my phone.
I think the distance is too much for bluetooth so I guess I'm looking at AirPlay or DLNA. Clearly AirPlay isn't ideal since I'm not using any Apple products or software. But I think I can use something like AirFoil (https://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/) to stream to AirPlay speakers from other music players, so it's an option.
Budget is £150 max. Any suggestions would be great (both for specific speakers and for general approach, preferred streaming protocol etc)
