He briefly owned a superuniti, but didn't get on with the interface. So instead spent the money on a naim dac, pre and power amps,...

Line In: New No Delay Local Mode

I'm using a Connect to switch between TV audio (line-in) and other traditional Sonos sources. I find the minimum 70ms delay on the line-in input to be maddening. While it occasionally works out that audio/video are reasonably sync'd, more times than not the Connect noticeably degrades A/V sync....

Remote options for volume/track change

hi all, i just acquired a sonos amp in addition to my existing play 3 and play 5. I have connected the amp to my TV via the line in. Something that bugs me a bit on the 3 & the 5 and now even more so with the amp (particularly for the TV) is the ability to quickly turn the volume up/down and als...

Amazon Echo

Sonos ZP100 dismantle and possible repair guide.

I bought a faulty Sonos ZP100 which had previously been opened. I therefore had no option of a Sonos repair or out of warranty exchange. I couldn’t find a guide to strip the unit down so worked it out myself. I have since written a guide which will hopefully help someone in the future but I accept n...
