poseidonsystems Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi All, I have a customer that is on 2.9.1 and is eager to get an upgrade to access all the streaming music features. Problem is, I have 2 speakerpoints that are working ok on streaming audio, but upgrading to 2.10 and above will break the audio streaming to the speaker points that are located sporadically through the house. They only have a network hook up. Is there a device that can take the audio out of from the EA-3 into the device and then stream over the network and receive and play out to the analog inputs of the Speakerpoints? I feel like I saw something like this at CEDIA 2016 in Dallas but I can't seem to find it. Is there any other solution rather than making the customer drop $$$ for 2 triad ones? Thanks!

poseidonsystems Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 I did some research and this is exactly what I needed...but is there something that is more of a plug and play set up? This looks like it uses RTP..http://www.crazy-audio.com/projects/raspberry-pi-for-audio-distribution/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pounce Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 If you have an ethernet cable that terminates at your rack running to the speakerpoint you could just use baluns, no? I'm assuming you are deleting the speakerpoint and replacing with some sort of amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am not sure from where you get info about the breakup of Speaker points, but am running 2.10.5 on my HC800 and I can stream everything all over my 2 speaker points that on 2.5.3! Am not sure about EA3 but am sure it should work as well!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I won't lose streaming audio through the network connection? I remember calling support a while back and was told Id lose streaming audio, but not rca input audio.

alanchow Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 why don't you update to triad one's? They are the direct replacement for the speaker point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poisenoire Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Would that work? It has the capability you are looking for but all things considered C4's answer is the Triad solution....Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 sonos amp with some audio baluns if you can get them direct to the the amp from the source. or really a dumb amp would work too if you have enough controlled analog outputs. Heos has some options too Yamaha music cast does as well. but in the end the triad 1 will be the best and cleanest solution. Its worth the spend.

Kahn Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 AudioControl Rialto - nifty amp !! I use them and they work great. Depending on you budget look at the 400 or 600. Plenty of power and features. Otherwise - go with Sonos Connect Amp.....costly but rock solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
