I am looking for a simple low cost device to send my music to my living room stereo. All I need/want is control from my desktop pc only, I don't need or want local control. A hardwired ethernet connection is available.
I have my music on a media center PC in a TV room with XBMC and Win 7 sharing. My living room stereo is just a 2 channel with analog RCA inputs.
What is the lowest cost device that can meet my needs?
All I can think of is trying to find a cheap Mini-itx board w/ audio out and running linux off of a USB stick with XBMC or other software. I might then use a VNC connection to control it. This seems like overkill and would probably cost me about $120. It would be nice to find something for less. Any suggestions?
