You need a Volume control for each pair of speakers.

Nearest Naim solution is to add another Uniti for zone2; then use the Multiroom mode to play them in sync.

If you had a Superuniti or better in zone 1, you could use Line-out to a UQ, or any integrated amp you like, in zone 2 for better quality than Multiroom, which is still pretty good.

You could add a Sonos Connect to your UQ in zone 1, and a Sonos Connect:Amp in zone 2 ($850 total) to get the job done for less money, but the results might not be up to your standards, as a Naim fan. That has been my experience.

Sorry. Uniti/Uniti2 is the only Uniti with Line Out.

I don't think Sonos would integrate well without Line Out.

It may be easier to ditch the speakers and get a mu-so.

can chromecast audio and my old pioneer 750 be a solution to play multiroom?

That is what I was thinking!
