Rob in Austin Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I want to send my computer audio via Ethernet cable to our stereo system. I have a Windows 10 desktop in my home office. Our receiver is about 50 feet away in the living room, and is a 1997 Sony STR-DE415 with RCA inputs. It seems to me that I need a control module interface between the Ethernet cable and the receiver - Ethernet in and RCA out. Because the Ethernet connection runs through a switch, I think the control module will need to handle an IP address. I would be grateful for any recommendations for a solution that wouldn't degrade the signal and sound quality. Link to comment

What type of music will be streamed from your computer (local files, streaming services, etc)? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Rob in Austin Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi Founder, Mainly streaming. I have about a 200-album YouTube music folder. When I click on a file in the folder, it brings up that album in YouTube and streams it. My wife would really enjoy listening via our stereo system in our living room and kitchen too. Cheers, Rob Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ah, that helps big time. Have you considered a chromecast device to receive the audio? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
