New audio setup...need help please

[Ilukmv]

Looking for serious help with my setup. I have a house that is wired up (cat5e) with in ceiling speakers (6 zones) and all the wires run to a central rack in my basement. I would like to setup the house To have the ability to stream Apple Music in each zone Independently or combine zones with an iPhone or iPad. What would be the best way to achieve this?

Look in to HEOS....i have a marantz and a denon receiver and it works great with the HEOS app to incorporate both receivers and 5 zones between them.......downside is buying multiple recievers.

Yea, basically call a pro and see what they suggest, take that suggestion and bring it back over here for more help. You may have to pay a consultation fee. It’s better than getting ripped, you can do the HEOS but that’s probably going to be like 3k easy and I’m not sure how heos would work with multiple units for simplicity.

What you’ve described is a fairly complex system. I’d suggest getting in touch with a specialist in whole-house audio like Home Theater Direct.

Now I think your system is a little more complicated, I was just browsing around, you basically need something like this speakercraft MZC-66 Multizone AV amplifier controller. But I would assume that is using standard speaker cable, I think yours maybe a bit more complicated
