Sticking a player onto the Amp is the first step. Unless you are using high res audio i.e. above 16/44 or your wifi near the amp is poor then a £20 Chromecast Audio is the cheapest option but if its an AVR then a full Chromecast at £30. There are LMS control apps for Android and iOS - if you are lucky SWMBO has a iPhone and using iPeng on that to control the player on the hifi just works and she will get the hang of it in no time. Others will advise on the best Android control app. *Pi3 with piCoreplayer music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets/Jogglers *Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s *Office* - Pi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108124
