Title: Replacement for the RCA Lyra Wireless RD900W?
Post by: Flake on November 12, 2008, 04:21:02 pm: I was reading some old threads regarding streaming music from your PC to your home stereo and this product (RCA Lyra Wireless RD900W) seemed to fill the bill (price vs. capability/quality). However, this product seems to no longer be available. I have searched RCA's website and see no replacement product.

Does anyone know if this product is even available anymore or if there is another product that does has the same qualities that is available? :dunno

I'm looking to build a wall-mount jukebox and would like to have the sound stream to my house speakers - this seemed like a good option if available.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I won't get to post a review until I unbox them on Christmas. My only concern is whether they will interfere with our wireless PC's. From all else I read, they're one of the best solutions out there. I'd also like to pick up a second set, or at least a second receiver, if they work out well.

UPDATE: They came and went at about 8:15 CST for a very nice price of $34.95.....over $10 less than what I paid in the last woot-off.

Post by: Flake on January 07, 2009, 11:49:47 pm: Update - it seems as though this device may actually interfere with my wireless connection at home. Not 100% positive but since I have moved my workstation that I am using to configure my jukebox computer the wireless connections upstairs seem to be jumping on and off. My jukebox computer workstation right now is situated right next to my wireless router. Hopefully when I move this to its permanent location for the wall mount juke it will quit interfering.............hopefully.
