But he could pipe it to a digital system at each location and use a line out to the non-digital system. Any old PC could fit the bill with a damnsmalllinux or other flavor and low low hardware requirements. If you want it quiet and clean, then any small, fanless, low-end set-top type boxes would do it.

Easy peasy linux solution:
1. Master running MPD service. 2. Slaves grabbing the streaming audio off of MPD.
