Sonos:Connect Delay Line-In

Hi all,

Any suggestions to over come my issue,
I use a connect, and connect a dj-mixer on line-in to play the sound to my Sonos system.

The problem is that the connect gives a quite big delay in the sound stream, that it not appreciated when being the house dj.

And the delay increases when I start to group different zones.

Any suggestions to minimize that delay ??

I can't understand the delay, due to when you have the playbar, sub and surround speakers, there is "no" delay (noticeable) in the sound stream from the TV (delay have not been adjusted in TV) . So obviously the equipment can handle it without that noticeable big delay...

Caio!

    I didn’t expect this from Sonos, who I feel have either mislead on what their product is capable of (why would you buy this to connect to an amp if there is a known lag?) or have simply failed to produce a seamless multi room/ multi connected experience.
    Actually it's because Sonos wanted to produce a seamless multi room experience that there's a finite delay. In the absence of a small amount of buffering it would be impossible to maintain an audio stream without dropouts. Networking 101.

      I found a solution. You still need to use your old amp (that you replaced with the AMP or CONNECT AMP) along with this specialty switch (2 amplifiers into one speaker pair). You cant play to multiple rooms though, which wasn't a problem for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0796KGVXT/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
