Wiim Amp - "Stream" from sound mixer

[putefabio]

Hello all.

I Have a Wiim AMP on my living room, just conected to 2 outdoor speakers, where i usually listen to music in the garden via spotify or plex.

Upstairs i have a yamaha ag06 sound mixer (that is conected to my dj setup and PC).

My goal is to "stream" from the mixer to the wiim amp, so i can, for example, listen to my vinyl on the garden speakers.

Has they are in separate floors, i cant just install rca between the mixer and the wiim amp, so what is the best way to acomplish this?

I'd suggest using a WiiM Pro or Pro Plus taking the feed from the mixer, grouped with the WiiM Amp in the wiim app to wirelessly share the audio. I presume you have a turntable pre-amp?

OR

1. Install Stream What You Hear on PC - https://github.com/dheijl/swyh-rs - and use Open Network Stream on WiiM Amp. Zero cost assuming the PC is connected to Mixer with a soundcard for recording.

OR

2. Get yourself a Raspberry Pi and a cheap USB ADC (Behringer UCA202), install piCorePlayer and configure it in Streamer mode.
Will take the analogue output from your mixer and convert it into a playable Internet Radio type stream which you can then connect to on your WiiM Amp via Open Network Stream. Assuming all components will need purchasing it is similar cost wise to WiiM Pro but does have more flexibility.

A third method is to use VLC on PC to create a playable stream but it is a bit of a pain to set up.
