I didn't see anyone mention DAC solutions. This is what's worked well at my house:

MMW on PC laptop - - USB DAC sender - - wirelessly - - USB DAC receiver - - analog cables -- old style stereo receiver. I have the NAD USB DAC2.

Hi,
It is DIY project where that board acts as remote receiver for BT Audio where you need BT on PC. So if you have PC with BT than it is OK as in order to have that You need to set Windows output to supported standard otherwise things complicates considerably.

There are few other projects also available:

There is finally always Apple Airplay https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208728 along with https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9284 that was proven works OK.

There is also MM5 that supports Chromecast so you can use Chromecast Audio and Chromecast connected to Projector that would do streaming to both at same time.

Hey Dan,

That looks like a really cool solution however I am trying to stream from my laptop to a non-networked stereo receiver without Bluetooth.

I don't quite see how this solution works for me but thank you.

Hi Guys….

I found the Up2Stream Pro V3 https://www.arylic.com/products/up2stream-pro-receiver-board.

I have tested it with MM4 and MM5 with headphones. I have managed to stream the music via Wi-Fi. As I understand Wi-Fi is better than Bluetooth. I have yet to conntect this to my amp and speakers but it is worth having a look.

I really want to watch movies on my projector and send the audio to the device at the other end of the room with NO wires.

I am sure there is a bloke who is much clever than I that can make it work

Dan

Thanks everyone!!

I went with this solution:

Its a bluetooth solution and it arrived today. Including hook up, out of the box, I am up and running in about 5 minutes.

Yes the audio is a bit compressed but the wireless facet of the deal seals it for me for now.

Thanks again for everyone's input.

Bluetooth can result in diminished audio quality, especially if the source is lossless. Audio Chromecast may not be produced any longer, but is hardly dead. There are many sources - just check on eBay. It works well and handles hi-res audio files much better than Bluetooth. Unfortunately, MM4 does not support it, though I have been able to get it working in MM5 (that it didn't is my own fault). If you are considering HDMI, you might also look at Audio over Ethernet solutions. Here's a web entry with some suggestions: https://www.kirkville.com/10-ways-to-connect-your-computer-to-a-stereo/

Hi,
There is number of solutions see https://www.amazon.com/s?k=RCA+Wireless+transmitter&page=2&qid=1555319253&ref=sr_pg_2

It all depends on Receiver, Also if you use AV Receiver you can use HDMI to transfer Audio Only as actual control will done on receiver.

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=RCA+Wireless+transmitter&qid=1555319346&s=gateway&sr=8-20 Looks enough for you.

Or one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLQH623/ref=twister_B07LG57YQY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

There is USB Bluetooth adapter to buy about 30 euros. Connect to stereo and address via AUX.
Look the link from Lowlander. I have the same LOGITECH.

There are RCA Bluetooth receivers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IQBSW28 and 3.5 plugs as well.

HDMI however is for video, whereas Bluetooth is Audio. There are wireless HDMI options: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+hdmi&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Other solutions are for screencasting to an HDMI dongle.

Although MM4 can't do Chromecast there are some desktop Chromecast options (I believe one was discusses on the forum).

How do you connect your PC to your stereo?

Sorry I know what HDMI is I was asking if there was an HDMI Bluetooth solution out there vs. RCA. I wasn't clear that's my fault.

Does anyone have a Chromecast Audio and if so will it work with MMonky 4? I can buy one on ebay no problem.
