Help Android Audio to Stereo System

[drhiii]

I have a fantastic stereo and speaker system that I want to use for....

I also have Android devices. Phone, tablet, etc. And a local network. I also have a Roku 3 in the mix. I would really appreciate some advice on how I can push an audio signal from my Android devices to my stereo system.

Should I look at say, a Bluetooth setup where I can push out the headphone port of the phone and tablets to a receiver at the stereo end? Or is there a way use the Android technology to push/mirror/etc, to a device that can connect to the stereo system which I would far rather do as I don't want to have to hang a transmitter device from a cell phone or tablet if I don't need to.

Or is there another way push audio from an Android device to a stereo setup? I've been wrestling with the different technologies but I would really appreciate some advice from folks who have a better understanding of all this. tx

Usually there's two ways I use, if the stereo system has Bluetooth, use that, alternatively connect a cable from the phone's headphones jack to the stereo's aux input. Networking the audio, I don't know, never done that. Is the stereo actually connected to your network?

Are you trying to cast audio from a streaming service like Spotify, or just to play audio files that are stored on your device?

Is your main system networked via Ethernet or WiFi?

I can recommend BubbleuPnP (not affiliated in any way, it's the one works best for me), as I use it on my phone and tab as a Control Point to play music library on NAS on my Onkyo system.

If you device is rooted and with Xposed framework installed, Bubble also has a module you can activate to Audio cast streaming. I use this function on my tab to cast Spotify as the Onkyo app is terrible to navigate NAS libraries and Spotify.

As long as the phones are physically located near the stereo, the easiest way is a mini-to-RCA adapter cable. I have a couple of old phones re-purposed as streaming audio players that I connected to the aux-in on receiver/amps and it works well.
