Looking for WIFI AUDIO (don't need video) interface between PC (USB?) and HDMI surround receiver in the next room. Any GOOD transmitter/receiver pairs that will do this?
 
Chromecast Audio. Or DLNA server on your PC, with corresponding DLNA client on receiver.

You probably know there's no standard for WiFi audio.

Thanks. I'll check them out.

Now I'm wondering since I've got a Wifi router with Cat5 connection and switch near the surround amp, could I just connect one of these from the switch to the surround amp and then play music files from PC to that device? https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-Adapter-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1524858400&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=ethernet+to+hdmi+adapter&psc=1


 
This adapter provides Wired Ethernet connectivity to computers / tables who lack Ethernet jack. Most modern receivers already have Ethernet connectivity. If your receiver has USB, it is most probably for media playback only.

 

This one, Denon AVR1911, doesn't have an ethernet CAT5/6 jack but is said to offer ethernet via HDMI. Now I think I can use my Roku or DirecTV box to stream to over ethernet. Digging deeper.
