Seems like the Sonos would meet your requirements.
I still think that you lose something by digitizing vinyl but that's just me. There are others on the forum with more experience. |

I’ve been using Sonos since about 2008. The new Connect is a real step up with its off board PSU. If you want something cheap DIY a Raspberry Pi something like a HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC Pro. I use a Digi + Pro to Stream HD music at and it’s very good. A good quality 5Vdc supply would be a good extra.

Like Ernie, I too was thinking of the HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC Pro plus Raspberry pi with MoOde OS. I have also been using the HiFiBerry Digi+ pro for some years feeding my Majestic, an excellent combination and very flexible when used with MoOde, excellent support on the MoOde forum too. A good 5V 3A or more power supply is needed.
It may appear a low cost solution, but sound quality wise it's way above its price point. The combination would still need a phono stage (as would the Sonos?) and we know where to get the best of those.

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Just checked out the HiFiBerry site. The ADC only has I2S out so unfortunately it’ll need an SPDIF converter too.
Did find this on CPC Farnell though for £12. PRO SIGNAL PSG3027 -Analogue to Digital Audio Converter |

so i'm just wondering. technically, how bad could the screw up be if i got a 12 quid converter, and this ends up being the one thing that makes the listening experience bad?
money aside.. would it make any difference if i spent 350 on a sonos connect. if quality sound is what i'm looking for. Oh.. the speakers are airplay enabled, so i don't really need the streaming options. thanks guys for the hifiberry idea. i googled and noticed that i'll also need a toslink converter

The P******t turntables are mass produced on an assembly line and they make a very large number of them. That's not why I take issue them (I don't care for the design), but if you think you are getting a boutique, small company handmade thing with any P******t product, think again.
