Hey guys, Im looking for a wireless audio receiver that connects over wifi, as opposed to bluetooth, RF, etc.

Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Only needs 3.5mm or analog L/R out. Needs to be able to receive from a PC, anything else, especially android/iphone is a big bonus, but not required.

Under $50 is great, the cheaper the better.

This receiver is the best Ive found so far, but someone reputable has to make something like this correct?

Id love personal recommendations.

ETA: Im not sure if this device even allows it, but Id like to be able to use multiple sources off my pc. I'm not sure if that would be just selecting it as an audio device or whatever. But the ability to send any output from the PC would be great

I have, it is the most stable option I can think of, but I don't like apple, or really use apple products. Id prefer something that doesn't have to work with itunes. streaming pandora/windows media radio streams is the most important
 
You said no Bluetooth, but have you really considered one of the new 4.0 receivers and ruled it out? The newer ones using the apt-x technology are getting favorable reviews for sound quality. It isn't an audiophile solution, but it probably would be the easiest for what you are trying to accomplish. If I hadn't had a spare Apple TV lying around it would have been my solution for a similar requirement just because it is convenient and would work with all my devices.
 
I have this one and it works exceptionally well. The sound quality is amazing for bluetooth, I couldn't ask for any better.

I have nothing against bluetooth, but for an outdoor stereo system in my back yard, wi-fi coverage is great there, and if I was outside with my phone obviously it would work well. But I would also like to be able to transmit from a few of the PCs in the house, which is where bluetooth is not going to work so well
 
This is the best, most versatile and lowest cost WIFI solution so far and the HDMI t0 3.5mm dongle doesn't require a power plug. In for two to complement the Chromecasts I already own.

Chromecast (as low as $25 when on sale) + $10.88 HDMI to 3.5mm audio output
