Sonos:Connect - Digital Input

I'm in love with my current SONOS setup, but there is still one device I'd love to connect to my system: my pc. I've tried a Connect to play sound attached to a video (for example from Youtube) through my speakers and while it works, there is a noticable delay (even with all the help settings). If I try the same thing with my Playbar, it works perfectly thanks to the digital input. Isn't it time to release a Connect 2.0? All digital? You have the technology (as proven by the Playbar), it shouldn't be too much problems to put it all together in a new Connect.

Multiple Play:1 speakers, multiple sources

Am I able to connect multiple speakers to different media sources?  I currently have 1, Play:1 speaker and a bridge but I want to be able to play music through one speaker along with tv audio or other music through another when I buy a second speaker.  Which kind of speaker can i purchase to do this?

Connect Sonos to WiFi without Internet

I have a Sonos Play 1, and I only have a mobile internet connection. When I purchased, I also bought a WiFi Router so I could set up the Sonos and play music, but this WiFi network is not connected to the internet as I only have through my phone. I researched but couldn't find a way to stream music from my Apple Music and TuneIn accounts to my Sonos at home. My question is, how can I stream music and radio from my phone to my Sonos with only a internet connection from my phone? Hope this makes sense. Thanks everyone

Taking my PLAY:3 to another house for a party?

Is this possible to JUST take my PLAY:3 to another house and it will work? Note: My PLAY:3 currently is connected to other sonos devices in my house. So can i temporally have my PLAY:3 on a different network on ITS OWN?

Setting up SONOS on a dual band network

Simple question really.... I'm about to set up a Play:1 and Play:3 and have a few questions. My router is a dual band Trendnet TEW-818 transmitting 3 networks 2.4 (b/g/n legacy devices) , 2.4 (n only IP Cams) and 5(n/ac modern hi-speed devices). My PC and android device both connect on the 5Ghz network. Now I know that SONOS runs on 2.4 (b/g) but when I'm setting up the system do I have also have to put one of the devices also on the 2.4 network? And once setup will I be able to use the the PC and android on 5Ghz and still control the speakers? My router automatically passes traffic between all the networks, for example on my Android I can see all devices on my network both wired and wireless regardless of network. Thanks in advance.

Occasional loss of grouping

Hi all I've only had my Sonos system for a week or so, but I'm already noticing the very occasional tendency to lose groupings whilst music is playing. The music will continue playing in one zone usually, with the other stopping completely. Is there any known issue? I assume this is not impacted by other network issues as the network is between the players themselves, correct? Everything is otherwise working perfectly, is no reason to suspect a faulty component as yet. Thanks!
