Hi all,
Newbie X12 owner here. All going well but now wondering best way to send X12 stored music to another room. I know I could buy wireless speaker(s) but I have a Bose Wave system and would prefer to feed analog input to its 3.5mm aux in.
Can I do the following and if so, is this the best way to achieve playback in another room?
In one room: X12 connected via coax to receiver+speakers.
In another room: Chromecast audio connected to Bose aux in.
Ideally would want to use one device eg tablet to control both the X12 and Chromecast.
Most explanations for using Chromecast audio assume source music files on controlling smartphone whereas my music would be on the X12.
Many thanks in advance!

Posting answer to my own question in case it is useful for others...
Bought a Neet Airstream from Amazon for £24 which works well. 8Player UPnP app on Iphone allows selection of X12 as server and routing of audio to Airstream which is connected via 3.5mm cable to Bose aux in.
I tried lots of UPnp apps and found that 99% of them will only play one track in selected album/playlist. 8Player plays the whole album.
