However a lot of tweakers have come up with cheap and workable DIY alternatives.Įspecially the arrival of the Raspberry Pi seems to have been a catalyst for all kinds of solutions to stream your audio in a simple way to your Hifi.
There are a lot of wifi and streaming enabled speakers available these days, with SONOS as maybe the best known but certainly not the cheapest example. You can invest again in new streaming ready devices. (In the case of the Squeezebox this was a small one, but I will perhaps cover this in another post.) You can of course connect your smartphone directly to your Hifi, but that is not very practical. However if you also want to use streaming services on your Hifi, you need to make another step. This set-up was at the start not a very easy configurable and stable solution.
The two devices talk to each other using Wifi (or wired network connection in the case of the receiver) and a PC with your MP3 collection, running a special server-software. The receiver box to connect to your HiFi set and the controller, a remote with an iPod-like jog button to go through the different menus. I myself purchased the Logitech Squeezebox Duet, for this purpose, back in 2009.
