multiple iTunes libraries, connect to house audio

Appreciate some input. Have a wireless home network with two PC's and on laptop running XP - all have downloaded iTunes libraries. Have a whole home audio system [6 zones] from Breatheaudio [BA], uses wall plates w/IR. What I want is to be able to play the iTunes libraries over the audio system and do it conveniently with a remote. Needs to be kid/wife friendly [easy to use] and done wirelessly.

What I have figured out is that it may be best to either get an Apple TV or Express connect it to the BA and buy a iPhone/iTouch [download the remote software] for the remote. Is that a workable solution?

I was hoping that my logitech universal remotes would work but then the ability to browse iTunes libraries may not be supported or too difficult.

Not a super high fidelity guy but want good sound, is a DAC necessary [suggest a brand]? Also, open to suggestion overall on how to get this done wirelessly.

It's going to be convoluted with 3 libraries. Combine the music from the 3 computers onto one (the server) and enable iTunes sharing so all 3 can access it. Get a Nokia internet tablet and use software like Media Maestro to control iTunes on the server. Stream iTunes wirelessly with an Airport Express to the Breathe Audio.

That is one option but there are several different devices like the Nokia and different programs that would work. You could use VNC to control the server with the tablet.
