So i am looking for ideas to fix my kitchen / dining system and wondered what I’m missing…
The room doesn’t have the best acoustics (a bit echoey) so absolute perfection probably isn’t worthwhile. I am currently running an Allo Miniboss player to some Celestion speakers and it sounds good, but loses points on ease of use as my OH doesn’t really know how to use Volumio - so it doesn’t get switched on too much.
Ideal system would be:
Options I can see:
stick with Allo (Volumio does sync playback but not that easy to use), buy cheap tablet as a screen and teach OH how to use it. Cheapest option but a bit buggy, looks not great, might still be a struggle to use sometimes. Sounds pretty good though.
buy a cheap amp (and one for adjacent room) and use Chromecast. Still no screen, but easier to use and gives loads of options. Any cheap but good sounding amp suggestions welcome.
buy a proper DAB and Spotify streaming device, either with or without an amp built in. Most expensive option but probably the ‘best’ overall (dream here would be if I can stretch to the Evo 75 I think) - I could then still use my 2 x Chromecast Audio and a smaller amp to get sync playback in the next room.
Is there anything I am missing - any other ideas?
