Cheers! 'WiiM Mini' (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HC5GRKY) is super easy to set up, no need to speak geek at all. Simple as Sonos, but a lot cheaper. I use one via the LMS UPnP bridge, but its native app is quite good for all the music services, plus it supports Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Amazon AlexaCast and Airplay 2 in addition to UPnP. Their upcoming Pro model will add Chromecast support. piTouch w/JustBoom DigiHat -> RME ADI-2 DAC FS -> JBL 305P MkII monitors; LMS 8.2 on piCorePlayer/Pi 4; Material Skin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chicks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117101 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
