Does Amp have a better DAC or sound processing than the Connect:Amp?

I'm trying to determine which one to buy to drive a pair of Polk MC80 ceiling speakers. They are 100 watt maximum and I understand that the Amp won't blow them even though it can go up to 125 watt. I should know these things, but I'm still learning! Recommendations?

Well, the Sonos Amp probably has a newer set of chips, since the two products were designed many years apart. Better is a relative term, and would be hard to tell. I'd assume that both do the job they're required to in order to provide the appropriate data to the Sonos ecosystem.
In an audiophile "My dog is better than your dog" sort of showdown, I think that most observers will feel that AMP wins.
