The Bose must be 10 years old now but has had limited use and still sounds pretty good to my ears. It's in our second home which we only use for 6-8 weeks p.a. so I'm keen to avoid replacing it as tbh it doesn't get much use even when we are there (when the house is full of mothers-in-law etc.).
I have an old iPod classic (also about 10 years old) with about 100GB of .mp3 music which provides the source. But it's reaching the end of its natural life, is incredibly clunky to use and of course can't be controlled remotely by any kind of app. or GUI.
Ideally, I'd like to replace the iPod with something which can be controlled remotely and preferably by a PC-based GUI and I find 'phone apps a bit too fiddly (or maybe my 'phone is too small). But the problem I foresee is that any replacement for the iPod will need to fit the Bose docking interface.
I don't have a budget in mind, but any solution over £250 will make me start questioning the cost/benefit.
All thoughts/comments appreciated.
TIA
