Connecting Amazon Alexa to quality stereo equipment?

Does anyone have this running in their house?

I have my Alexa playing in the other room and it sounds decent really but a quality sound system would be great. I've seen the documentation on setting it up, but don't know anyone that's actually done it.

Any recommendations? Problems to watch out for?

I have mine connected to a whole house speaker system. My echo dots have a line out so connecting it is simple. Not sure if the regular echo has a line out. If not you'd have to use Bluetooth which wouldn't be as good. Logitech makes a nice Bluetooth receiver with audio out if you need one to connect to your stereo.

Dots are pretty cheap, I could just grab 1 of those.

It sounds good on your speaker system?

Yes it's good for the most part. If youre listening to streaming radio like tune in it can be a little compressed. Amazon music sounds better. Its nice just saying alexa play Judas Priest and having it come on with a mixed selection automatically through the whole house.

We have Alexa Dots in nearly every room of the house as well as both garages. Love them, can't live without them. The sound quality is "okay" and good enough for me.

That was my assumption. Okay cool. I wonder if I can stream from my NAS library of FLACs.

I'll report back if I pull the trigger.

I wanted to access my mp3 library with it but haven't been able to figure out a simple way. It sounds like you'd have to upload all your music to Amazon music to do it. I have around 250 gb so not going to do that. If you find another way let me know.

That does look interesting.

I could fire up the iTunes server on my NAS and run this media server from my iMac and it should work.

Please report back if you give it a test.
