I want to stream audio from my computer/mobile to my stereo which only has analog (rca) input. Currently I use a USB connected NuForce Icon uDAC 2 which works great, except for the usb cable between my computer and stereo. Is there a way to stream sound by wifi to a usb dongle which is connected to the NuForce uDAC 2 I already have?
 
I see NuForce has a wireless DAC called airDAC, but I would like to reuse my uDAC 2and avoid a dongle in the computer, and rather use the already integrated wifi in the computer or mobile.

I use one of these.

Got it for the convenience factor but was pleasantly surprised how good it sounded. At least relative to what I expected.
 
It's a really handy toy to have around. Everyone can connect their phone/tablet/portable to the main system effortlessly.
 
Quality obviously depends on both ends of the circuit. So if your source is unreliable the quality of the receiver is irrelevant.

This one is only available in UK.
 
Is there anything on US market that can do that? 
 
Also looking to connect receiver (via RCA / toslink etc) to some wireless streamer.
