Hi there!
I’m trying to wrap my head around one issue with integrating Sonos and my Hi-Fi setup and I’m open for any advice or suggestions that might solve the issue:
I have Sonos around my flat. In my living room I have a Hifi system with a turntable. So far, I either listen to my records or I stream. For that there are a pair of Play:5 sitting right next to my old loudspeakers. I wish to marry my stereo with Sonos. The reason I didn’t do it so far is the lag when streaming analog audio while using the Hifi system simultaneously. My space is very open, the rest of the flat lagging behind the main room is no option at all.
My setup consists of a Pro-Ject Pre Box DS2 with two mono power amps behind. No I had the following thought;
Putting Sonos in between pre- and power amp would get rid of the streaming lag, but at the same time all my analog audio would go through Sonos DAC. Am I right here?
If this is right, the Sonos Port should have something like an “analog signal through” option. Because if not, all audio going to the power amp would always go through the Port’s DAC. (Which is not a good thing when I just like to listen to a record on the Hifi setup).
Does the Port do something like that?
If not, has anybody solved this issue?
