with difficulty. play it from your PC and use your iPhone to control it.

 

but i think there is a new function in the latest OS that will let you stream to some other box which will then allow play back on the amp.

Yes, if you have a new Apple TV (£99) you can connect that to your AV receiver, use it to stream iTunes from your iPhone and control playback through Apple AirPlay on the phone. Or you can use an Apple AirPort Express.

If you dont want to spend that much, this would be a cheaper but slightly less practical solution. http://www.richersounds.com/product/ipods-docks-accessories/roth/dock/roth-dock
