I’ve used the system in my workdays for some years now, and love it, but notice that when I played playlists controlled from my streamdecks I would have intermittent drop outs and cuts, like the left/right/sub would independently drop and then come back after a few seconds.
I had searched a lot, dont many updates, restarting my router and all the satellites in the mesh, nothing worked. At this point, if you’re hoping theres a silver bullet, sorry, BUT. I recently got a mate who had been playing with music generation online, and I really liked the stuff he made so got a copy of it onto my main pc, and added the folder as a music library in the sonos app. Other than having some of the worst playlist management options I’ve ever seen, like having to remove and re-add a library source to update it…. it HAS NEVER CUT OUT. I only just realised it this morning as yesterday I’d hit a different playlist and had the cut out but didnt make the connection.
So I figure its either the sonos linkage with tidal or its getting the individual speakers to each get their own feeds, dunno. But as the system seems flawless ( will uipdate if I ever notice it doing it, but hasnt so far, in the 49 track playlist that i have going all the time now) I dare say if I’d switched to the wiim or fiio or whatever I’d been looking at I’d have had the same problem. I’d also say the fix for the streaming network issue is to change the player so theres a master unit that connects to the stream and then sends to the other speakers in the group.
Anyway, just put this here because I love the system, the sub still blows my mind ( is the squre one with the water in the cup demo) and we use the surrounds and play bar in the bedroom at night to play rain sounds. Couldnt be happier. ( oh yeah the rain in the bedroom is also from a file in my library, would do the same thing on that when i used to play something off youtube with different units taking turns at not working )
