OP, for background music out of doors, a decent Bluetooth device will work. You didn’t mention speakers or source. Presumably you will send the WiFi signal from your phone to a Bluetooth or AirPlay receiver but about speakers?
A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
Hello fellow Audiogoners - a quick question as I have noted above on streamers. I am looking for a steamer only, no DAC, that would be easy to use. I don't want to worry about any updates and would prefer a US made product if at all possible. I have a WiFi service coming into my home so that would be how I would be getting my music. I would like it simple to use and without any hassles. I would be using it in the summer providing music to my back dec, or when cooking or entertaining inside. I would looking in the price range say of ; $2,000 to $5,000 used or new. Thank you in advance and look forward to suggestions on what to buy based on what I have outlined above. Thank you in advance and please stay safe and well.....

Beware BSN. It doesn’t love all dacs. I’m interested in the suggestions here as I am streaming from a MacBook Pro at the moment. I’m considering the new U2 Lumin. The sonore is interesting but I would avoid it given all the boxes required. Many have suggested Aurender though does it integrate well with Roon? Auralic seems like a nice unit. For your purposes, what about Sonos? |
@hsounds Agree completely. For backyard or background music while cooking/socializing, even a Node may be overkill. Surprised many are suggesting costly high-end devices for that application. |
