BIG problem - Music & Media

[Digitalize]

Forget all the raspberry pi fiddling.

AirPlay for all the speakers, running on a separate network, all iOS devices running Plex app, Server running Plex. Seamless, easy, looks good, supported standards, no messing around with cheap stuff.

If you don't have an airplay enabled amp you can use a Pi as an airplay receiver

I use Plex all over my house but still use Squeezeplay for Music as I find airplay a little flakey.

But if buying a new amp you may as well get one with AirPlay.

AirPlay needs decent bandwidth, so the best way is to operate it on a separate network, or an AC network. As much connected by Ethernet as possible.

Has anyone any experience of these AV receivers, that have bluetooth, Wifi, NAS connections?!

Are they any good?

I guess the interface and searching for tracks will be the difficulty?

Seems we have a lot in common (well a car anyway) except I kept my 1210s and have a loft full of records from the early/mid 90's.

Sub wise I recommend one of these http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/svs_pb12...

Now the weathers better must meet up and compare cars.

Hi David,

Not seen you driving through the tunnel recently LOL !!

We missed you at the Thames Valley Meet at the Novello, There was another Turbo S owner from 911uk, Pete, who had a lovey car too!

Must meet up, I will be in touch soon and then can also discuss audio equipment for the home!!
