I was thinking this too myself last night, maybe some already do exist, but I wondered why are they not any WiFi amplifiers when it comes to the traditional 2 channel amplifier.

I thought this because I was playing with new Sonneteer Server last night which I'll have more on later and thought there is no way to play direct to a stereo amplifier as they don't pick up a WiFi signal.

Until amplifiers have this feature I think servers may struggle to get a real grip on the market, am I on the right track with this?

I changed the title to UPnP as put I wrong, I wonder you PC geeks thought on this?

You would need a wireless receiver, plus a dac built into the amp.

The best solution to this at the moment at a reasonable price is the Linn Majic dsi it is awesome @ £2500 they also do another called the Acurate I think and that is £11,500, basically upnp with a dac and an integrated in one box, I almost scrapped my entire hifi for one, but then I couldnt fiddle in the future but I am almost gunna buy one for another system!

Surely they are going to become more popular? I would think so as things are moving more in this direction. I do like that Linn styling even though it's a brand I would never consider Very Happy

The good thing about this type of interface is that with an ethernet connection the data being recieved by the amp is then error corrective, as a data flow over tcp via a cat cable with correct itself and should give a perfect full bandwidth digital signal unlike coax or optical and can carry a massive amount of data upto 32bit if neccessary

It makes sense to me, I guess it's just a matter of time before it become implemented more.
