This topic has been beat to death on this forum. I am hoping this thread generates enough interest to at least peak the interest of the money makers at Sonos and hopefully this or a version of it is put into production.

A "Zone Player Pro" would be Ampless and have One (1) Coax and One (1) Optical Digital Outputs in a standard 17" Audio/HT component case.

Forget any and all other requests, for now, such as rackmount, color, additional features, or a Price Reduction. Lets assume it will cost the same as the current Zone player $499, anything less would be a bonus.

Simply put, do you want and would you purchase a "Zone Player Pro".

    The SONOS is very good, but not world class. Keep in mind that you didn't pay a world class price.
    Your point is well taken, Buzz. Even with the slight tradeoff in audio quality, I still love my Sonos. My friends and family like it too, so much so that my sister and her husband just purchased the introductory bundle.

    However a digital output could bring the system to a new level for us audiomaniacs.

    On a side note...if any Sonos people read this..its nice to see an SB company doing well. Its my hometown! I hope Rincon has been firing on all cyclinders and the crowds are lite!! 🙂

    There is a freight train of a WNW coming in that should light things up for the first half of the week. ... lite crowds at Rincon? you've been gone a while. 😉

    have fun,

    Digital out is a must have.
    An ampless option should be available too.
    This months Stuff Magazine rates the Hermstedt Hifidelio as the winner against the Sonos and other products. Having used both products I can say that I prefer the Sonos System however the Hifidelio does offer some great functionality (alternative) that is missing in the Sonos system.
