Adding another system...

I now want to extend this into another room, in which I already have a music system (while being able to use the two systems independently, controlled by Kinsky Desktop). What is the easiest way of streaming into this room, still being able to use the RipNAS / MinimServer combination?

Suggestions for a sensibly-priced solution welcome...

Many thanks.

I presume the music system in another room includes an amplifier and speakers but doesn't have a network streamer. If so, you will need to add a network streamer to this system. This could be a Linn streamer or a streamer from some other manufacturer. I would recommend that you choose a streamer than can do gapless playback (all Linn streamers can do this). Another advantage of having a second Linn streamer is that you can use Songcast to play the same music simultaneously in both rooms.
