I have 3 heos speakers in my house and a 4th wireless (wifi) speaker that I built myself. I was wondering if anyone else has tried tinkering around with the heos app to make it detect other wifi speakers and play music to them?
I tried using dlna to get my logitech/squeeze boxes and heos speakers to play the same music, which worked but there was a significant delay between the two systems that I couldn't correct with the squeezebox software settings.
Right now the only way to hook up to existing speakers is with a HEOS Link, but that is a pretty large and costly device. It would be great if Denon created a playback-only HEOS dongle that with a line out--call it a Linklite. It wouldn't necessarily need to be able to do everything a normal HEOS device does, at a minimum it would just play what is played to your other HEOS device(s). But nearly all wifi speakers have a line-in jack, even Sonos. It would be kind of cool to be able to easily add third party components in this way.
Wishful thinking: if HEOS becomes a more popular home entertainment operating system, perhaps vendors of the other products will embed the software required to be compatible with HEOS.
