The choice for the bedroom fell on a DAC sound card to use active speakers directly with the Pi. An amplifier setup would have been possible here, too. As opposed to passive speakers, the active ones already have an integrated amplifier. They are connected via cinch (RCA) or audio jack cables.

My sound card choice for this zone was the NEW IQaudIO Pi-DAC+ sound card since it is a good sound card for a great value. With Max2Play’s bundle deal you can get all necessary components starting at 119,99€.

To find out which sound card suits your setup best, you may consult the Max2Play Multiroom Audio Configurator or the Sound Card Comparison Charts for further information.
