Another reasonably priced possibility is to set up an Ethernet AVB network. For 48 speakers one could use 6 x N-DAC8s ($299 each) from miniDSP together with two MOTU AVB switches. miniDSP have also recently come out with a PoE Ethernet AVB capable speaker. This allows for incremental expansion of the immersive sound system.
