NEED HELP WITH A QUESTION

My system is lovely and I am very happy with its sound.
Krell 402e, BAT Rex preamp, Esoteric K-01 CD/SACD player, Revel Salon2 speakers, Stealth Indra and Siltech cables.

Here is the question: I want to be able to play music from a iPhone or a laptop, etc., for when I am entertaining and want a playlist or just a long selection of music. I don't want to have to play CD after CD. This is merely for listening with people over for dinner, cocktails, etc.

The sound from the system fills the house no problem. I know that the Esoteric has the ability to use its DAC with an external digital source.

What is the best/easiest way to solve the problem?
I don't want to make the switch to a server as my sole source. I also do not ncessarily need to listen to hi-res files only. There will be a mix of music from my phone, my daughter's phones, other phones, etc., plus I may want to build a couple of playlists on an iPad that are a bit more specific (jazz only, pop only, vocals only, etc.). Those playlists could be hi-res or not. But as I said before this is for non-critical listening.

Which pieces do I add to the system, what cables do I need?

For your minimal needs something on the line of bluetooth options may be a good bet. Products from Audioengine, Arcam, NAD and Xantech etc. Simple connection to stereo via RCA line outputs to stereo. Audioadvisor.com a good place to start your research.

Great to be able to control the music from your easy chair or from anywhere across the room. Decent to good sound and it won't break the bank.
