RCA Lyra RD900W Audio Link Under $40 This is not new, but I've been a little frustrated lately trying to find a decent connection from my computer to my stereo system. Bluetooth A2DP is still too expensive in my opinion, being around $150 and up, and FM just blows (yes I was wrong).There are 2.4GHz point to point audio links, but they're around $70 (on eBay, so don't know the brand), and they use the same frequencies as 802.11, and I already have a lot of interference in that range in my house. So along comes the RCA Lyra RD900W, which uses the old 900MHz range like the cordless phones that actually used to work, and I'm tempted to try it out. In fact, I am ordering it now, just like I order all the rest of this stuff. Musicmatch users will like the fact that the remote control can actually control playback on the computer from the receiver end. Those that use other players, the transmitter works just like a USB sound card, so it'll play back pretty much anything. The range is reportedly 100 feet, but I'll be happy with 20 at this point. The reviews appear to be pretty great on every site I've read, so I'm a little more confident than usual on this one. UPDATE: Apparently the newest version of the remote software allows the remote to work with Rhapsody as well as Musicmatch. Which is great for me, I already ordered this anyway.
