reliable android tablet to be used as remote control for hi-fi?
Hi all!
can you suggest any reliable but not very expensive tablet (samsung galaxy or ipad are off budget) to be used as remote controller to stream music from a nas in a hi-fi system? I'm seeking any reliable device less than 200 euros (170 pounds). I know that there are available wi-fi tablets that cost something like 99 euros but i am very sceptical about buying these devices (even if their primary task will be as remote controllers) Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Harry

You best option is this app:
Via this tablet:

pro-ject has its own application for apple & android the box control, i just need a decent tablet to stream my music from NAS and feed my amplifier. Nexus7 16gb (8gb not available) in Greece is quite expensive 290euros. If i choose this price level i prefer samsung or ipad mini
Just order it from UK. Part of EU, so no more taxes to pay. Check eBay. Often sold at a discount there.
I use a Creative Ziio7" tablet as a Squeezebox touch controller and uPnP controller. It's only £60 but is limited to Android 2.2 and has a resistive touch screen.

How are you planning to stream it? Which NAS & HiFi system have you got?
Nexus 7 is a cheap Android tablet, but it really depends on your devices & whether Android supports it.
