Airplay to an Airport Express is the first thing I thought of. Or you could use a Bluetooth solution.

Struggling to see a bluetooth solution, but perhaps. Express is the way to go if you have IOS, not sure whats out there for PC/Android affairs.

Gary, something like the Rocketfish bluetooth receiver would work I believe. Pair it to the Macbook. Output options from the Rocketfish include digital (optical) and analog (I think it's a mini headphone connector, but an adaptor to provide RCA L and R leads is included. It may well sound 'good enough' for relatively lossy source material, and it's cheap comparitively.

so presumably the op would then need a computer at the qute end, you might need to mention that

No just a Macbook which he owns, as the bluetooth (or AirPlay) sender, and a Rocketfish (or Airport Express) at the Uniti end.
