While I can get to all these wired in with some really long cat5 cables, I’d rather have wireless data to them, so I can be more flexible with their positioning.

I’d like to be able to connect 2 different devices to them at once to play 2 different tracks in different rooms, but also be able to pick which rooms the speakers play in. I’d probably use 4-5 speakers across 3-4 rooms. I’d love to be able to use my phone, PC & TV ideally as inputs.

I can put a pi or such next to my router to control all these if needs be.

Budget is aiming at £250.

Any suggestions?

    I would look for https://www.picoreplayer.org/

    I am thinking of making something similar, so I see it as piCorePlayer running on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with some DAC hat.

    You can squeeze Pi Zero 2 W + DAC in £50 (give or take).

    I was going to say Sonos and then got to your budget.

    Deos the 250 budget just for devices to control existing equipment, or is it 250 for speakers plus amps/whatever plus controllers?
