SONOS AUDIOPHILES BY ADDING 24BIT QOBUZ SOFTWARE

You can create a play list that sources Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon and your network file share. as noted in posts above the Sonos Controller App can aggregate all sources so nicely that you get spoiled in only wanting to use the Sonos Controller.

Once working, their software IMO is awesome. The screen shot Amir showed can be triple frustrate if your App does not see the Sonos!

We had to hard wire them behind their own little switch. Years ago, at first it didn't work at all a because my home router (AT&T) dumped or ate STP traffic ( Spanning Tree Protocol ). To get them working on their own Sonos 'Mesh' can be difficult. I have a Sonos Play 1, Play 3 and a Sonos Connect. Good to see the actual measurements behind it. I've seen other reviewers crap on the Sonos toslink and recommend using the iFI spdif iPurifier or the vendor you mentioned. All of those had both synchronization and drop issues.Īmir, thanks for reviewing as I've often wondered how good the toslink out connection is for Redbook music and I got my answer. No other system that I tried including Roon, airfoil and Squeezebox could even come close to the reliability of the connection between speakers. Prior to this, I used airplay and it was a nightmare (drops all the time). I've had it for over a year and NEVER had a dropped connection or a synchronization issue with the 5 zones I run.

I know it isn't addressed in the review (and not really applicable for it) but I think the biggest selling point for Sonos is the multi-speaker/zone Network connection.

However for an audiophile with a large hi-res library, Sonos probably isn't for you. If you are just using Sonos for streaming, I'm fairly certain that all of the services (including Qobuz or Tidal) are limited to 16bit/44.1 khz so the sound conversion shouldn't be an issue. IOS remote app is more intuitive than many of the others that I've used including iPeng and Audirvana remote. It works great in the apple ecosystem but perhaps not as well with Android.
