Hi all,
Well here's my first post. I'll give the background:
I want to distribute sound from my PC application (HAL2000) through the house. So that I could walk round the house and listen to the same music in various rooms.
So, first I figure I need to buy a really good sound card for the PC.
Downstairs I have a Yamaha DSPA1 amp with loads of inputs, coaxial, phono, fibre optic thingy! Upstairs, I have a regular amp with phono inputs. Also I want to distribute the sound to 2 or 3 other rooms which dont have anything - wondered if wireless speakers would work?
The sound cards I've looked at have 10 or more output channels but I'm not sure if that means I can hook up 10 stereo systems ?!
I've no idea at all where to start. Do I just need a good sound card and lots of wires (if so, what's CAT5 and can I use it?!) or do I need something really complicated.
Oh, I'm keen to get top quality sound on the 2 main amps, the wireless (if poss) doesn't matter too much about a slightly lower quality.
Any advice at all greatly received.
Thanks for reading.
Teddy
