We have an old Denon micro system in our bedroom, lovely little thing but a PITA having to play CD's instead of being able to stream music to it from the NAS.

What would be the easiest/cheapest option to enable it to stream? Was thinking about a cheap 7" Android tablet but it's a bit of a faff really, anything better/easier out there? Maybe a bluetooth thingy thn stream to it from a bluetooth smart phone?

Seems a shame to ditch the thing.

Well, it arrived today, 5mins to set up (used a half decent RCA to RCA cable rather than one supplied) & voila, internet radio & music from NAS at my fingertips smile

Best £30 I've spent this week smile

We have a spare Nokia Windows phone knocking around, may use that as a dedicated controller to save having to connect mine or my OH's phone all the time, the only other thing is the bright blue light it gives out, we sleep in a very dark room & that thing lit it up a treat lol! It will stay off unless we need to use it biggrin

Well the dedicated controller works well except being Win7.5 it doesn't support iPlayer so no Radio 1 or 2 unless I can work ou how to play it through DS Audio.

Wish I'd done this ages ago! May buy another for my Roksan now , long term though some bluetooth surround speakers may be a better idea?
