New input to connect amp
Hi all,
I currently have a DAB radio connected to a connect amp via line in. The connect amp is grouped with a couple of other speakers / connect amps so when the DAB radio is turned on it is played in all zones.
I was looking at upgrading my current DAB radio to the below
http://www.eu.onkyo.com/en/products/cr-n775d-146574.html?tab=Stage
What would be the setup I need to connect this input so it works in the same way as my current setup? I note this has a built in amplifier so I presume the speakers would need to connect to this unit? Do I therefore need a sonos connect? And if so what would the connections need to be? I was planning to get another connect amp for a new zone but if I could get a connect instead and use my current connect amp elsewhere it I would be cheaper. Is it possible to use a connect amp with this new input?
I'm currently re-wiring my house and hoping to put the connect or connect amp some distance from the speakers/input unit. But can't seem to find any guidance on the setup for something like this.
Thanks a lot, appreciate any help

Well, if you want to listen to DAB radio in other zones, you need to connect the line out of the Onkyo to the line in of the Connect.
If you want to stream music on your Sonos network to the Onkyo, you would connect the line out of the Connect to the line in on the Onkyo.
You could do both, but you would have to be very careful not to set up a feedback loop.
