@joss As a result of tekkyization I have discovered online music streaming. Wow. So much available. If I want to hear an LP I last listened to four decades ago, couple of clicks, and there it is. Brilliant. Now, to use the Amazon/BBC/etc service I connect the PC to the Quad (send digital via USBs) and cheap old systems in kitchen (analogue by headphone jack to RCAs). Works fine. Bit of a pain having to carry the PC around and connect/disconnect every time. Thought I might connect a dedicated bit of cheap kit and that’s why I’m writing here.
What do you reckon about my options? I can get a dead cheap tablet, like the Amazon Fire 7, to connect to both. Or I can get a Bluetooth receiver and send from PC. What do you think would be better? Not too worried about music quality, can work round that. But what about range of transmission/receiving? For example, using PC in kitchen is at limit of router range. Would a tablet give up? And does Bluetooth suffer range problems? Have looked at “reviews” stuff on interweb but, as ever, no straight answers there. So thought I’d ask a proper expert…
