how to start?

Hi @piki.

Welcome to the Forum where you will find many helpful and friendly people (and also technically competent :slight_smile: )

Check out this Post Multiroom Audio in Spanish Villa

Let’s Start with the Main System:
I would recommend the PRO DIY Board (equipped with WiFi & Wired LAN Port. The MINI is WiFi only. For me the cost difference is negligible and unless you are limited with size I Would suggest the PRO and if you have an Ethernet Switch/Router close by I would also recommend Wired Ethernet (if possible).

Moving on to the passive speakers in another room
I would recommend the UPSTREAM2 AMP V4 DIY Board. I would also recommend Wired Ethernet (if possible), however it will work also purely on WiFi.

Regarding Architecture
These products communicate on TCP/IP Network via your Home Router. No Additional HUB (e.g. Sonos) is required :slight_smile: So the beauty of the Design is it doesn’t matter if you have 1,2,3… etc. devices the comms will take place through your existing router.

Hope this helps
