wappinghigh Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've decided it's not worth the fight any more.. This is sooooooo like the SACD vs CD wars back in the 80's it's uncanny and scary.... At the end of the day if there is limited content and limited players (in this case = multiroom streaming solutions for me that WORK.. = suitable software.._) I mean WHY BOTHER?? So right now, I have to regrettably say, it's Sonos 1.... Wappinghigh Nil.. Time to get a life and play some 16 bit..

Just sold a SONOS Connect to a client and he is using it into a Metrum Hex dac and digging it. David Link to comment
