I don't know what "traditional stereo" means to you.
My music is stored on a computer sitting near a TV and a Yamaha receiver, which runs five main speakers and two subwoofers.
There's a powered speaker set hooked to a Chromecast audio in another room, and a cheap old laptop running an old Yamaha receiver with 2 mains and a sub in the living room.
forked-daapd (you'll want the current version out of github) runs on the main computer and has a web interface. It can talk to the Chromecast and the laptop and the main receiver to send the same audio to all of them. Delays can be adjusted.
I hardly ever do that. Instead, I call up music in whatever room I'm in.
- germinalphrase 7y agoI suppose ‘traditional stereo’ means any stereo receiver that was built without smartphone connectivity. For instance, I inherited a nice receiver that was built in the early 90’s. It sounds great, but I do recognize that being able to stream music and control multi-room speakers through my smartphone (a la Sonos) is desirable.

- sethhochberg 7y agoYamaha's MusicCast platform is great for this. Pricey, and their all-in-one speakers sound worse than a Sonos One, but the WXC-50 appliance has been the core of my home audio system for years. https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/wireless_streaming_amplifiers/wxc-50/index.html https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/wireless_stream... They make one with a stereo amplifier built in, and also one that is just a preamp.
