Wireless speakers for a second room?

i have a two channel (proacs, prima luna power amp and a naim pre\dac). the preamp has a headphone jack and i am wondering if there is a way to set up a speakers in a second room (too inconvenient to wire) by either running some sort of device out of the hadphone jack output, either to a powered speaker or to a non powered (usign the current pre to control volume).  i have seen wireless bluetooth, which i dont think will work, but dont know what other technologies might work. i have two rooms i am thinking of - the dining room which would not need high end speakers ( i have a pair of nht super zeros that would be fine)  but also considering for my home office, where some decent speakers would be nice.

can someone teach me about this, and let me know if i have a viable option?

Not really what I meant.  I would like to put a CD on in my high end room and, by attaching some device to the headphone out, or similar, be able to have music in a second room without having to run wires through my walls, buy an apple TV or hook up a PC.

dunno of any devices like that but they could easily exist

can we convince you to rip your CDs to a computer or tablet or ... something?

I think what you want is a Bluesound Node, but you would be playing cd's from a digital library, not your CD player.
I own the Node 1 and output to my DAC. I have to say I am very happy with the wireless connectivity (though I made a work around for 5g network rather than the 2.5g built in). They also have other models which can store your music, too.

Bluesound or Sonos will work.  The former is a bit pricier, but features (purportedly) better SQ.

On Sonos you can take an analog out from your preamp and run it into a Sonos zone, as you desire.   You'd need a second zone for wireless transmission of that signal.   Not 100% sure about Bluesound.
