Hello everyone.
I wonder if Sonos Connect does the DAC conversion of analog signal, that comes in to the device, and then do the conversion again while sending it to 'analog out'?
I think it does and I look for a possibility to use Connect as a preaplifier but without double conversion?
I need to plug in hi-end CD (with better DAC then Sonos) to power aplifier and would like to use Sonos as a preaplifier but without loosing quality.
It is possible?

double DAC conversion while using 'analog in' and 'analog out' in Connect

Thank you for all answers!
I plan to have either Technics SL-C700 or Exposure 2010S2.
But even if Sonos DAC is as good as these inside CD players, I think, if you do tripple conversion (bits to analog, analog to bits, bits to analog) it has to interfere with the quality of sound.
Correct me please if I am wrong.

Thanks! 😃
I understand it's a legacy mode of operation for a Bluray/DVD player.
What's a CD player? 😉
From my experience in early days with Sonos, not trusting at that time the DAC quality in Connect and use of high end SACD player, I suggest this alternative that now works very well for me:
1. Rip all CDs to a NAS.
2. Wire the Connect in variable volume mode to the power amplifier - analog out to analog in.
3. Enjoy all your music much more conveniently with no loss of quality.
To your other question - the Connect will always do the double conversion of any signal at its analog inputs before the signal is sent on to the analog outputs and there is no way to avoid that.
