AudioEngine AW1 USB Streaming Media Solution

Audioengine has released a pretty cool little hardware setup that we thought you might be interested in. The AW1 comes with two modules, one to connect to your PC the other connects to your stereo. With no software to install the AW1 removes all of the hassle of having to deal with getting wireless streaming setup in your home. They use their own proprietary connection technology so it would seem that they are able to find each other rather easily. The site is a little slim on details on how this all actually works, but it seems that you plug one dongle into your computer and then plug your audio out into that dongle. The second dongle plugs into battery pack/wall plug and then using the supplied RCA cables you plug it into your stereo. This would seem like a nice way to make audio streaming in the house about as simple as possible.

They claim to be able to work 100 feet apart and offer "CD-quality HD stereo sound with no reduction in audio quality". And because this is just passing the audio out to your stereo you don't have to worry about which audio formats it supports, it will do them all. This will work with your PC or your Mac and they are selling for $150 at their website.
