Roksan K2 - playing CDs through connected CD player and through SONOS Connect:AMP

I have a Roksan K2 Amp and CD player and unfortunately the amp does not have output which I can connect to my Connect:AMP in order to play CDs through the rest of my SONOS. I have figured a work around where I have connected my Connect:AMP to the CD player, and then the CD player to the AMP, but that of course means that I have to turn on the Connect:AMP to use the amp with any other inputs. I don't suppose anyone has a better solution?

There is no sound sent to my other sonos speakers when I play a cd, select the CD player in sonos and have CD selected on the amp. Thank you 🙂

You have to set up and select Line In as source in the Sonos controller to play music from a source that is connected to the line in jacks of the Connect. It can be set up to autoplay on sensing an incoming signal, but that needs to be done in the set up.

I have done that, and called it 'CD player'. Sorry, I should have made that clear!

I have not used Line in for a long time, but once the CD player starts playing and music is heard via the Roksan, does the Sonos Controller, when Connect is selected, show that as connected? Nothing happens when you move the volume control slider of the Connect over to the right?

So does sound come out of your normal (non-Sonos) speakers? I'm confused over your wiring - what is the CD actually plugged in to? The Roksan or the Connect? If the Roksan, the CD input or the Aux?

As you have in effect "tested" the Sonos connect input is working... by previously connecting the CD player OUT to the Connects IN. So can only assume that nothing is coming our of the amps pre sockets (pics look correct) give Roksan a call to see if there is anything obvious.

Sorry guys; I have tried again and turned the volume ALL the way up, and I can hear my CD playing! Amazing! The only issue is it's ridiculously quiet! Think I may go back to the old way and connect the CD player to my connect. Thank you all so much for your help, you all totally rock. Sorry for wasting your time!

Turn up the Line In levels on the Connect; that is probably all that is needed, there is no need to go back to the old way.
Given that the inputs to it are Roksan volume level controlled pre amp outputs, it also may make sense to leave the Connect in Fixed level mode and use just the Roksan volume controls.
