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.

I have a slightly different bent on this request.

One of the benefits of Sonos is having a high quality DAC that converts digital music files into the analog signal that plays through the system. If I pair Sonos with my AirPort Express to play other sources, I have to rely on the poor quality DAC in the AirPort Express. Adding a digital input allows Sonos to handle the digital-to-analog conversion from all sources. I would really like to see this built into the Bridge to make that component more useful and the feature ubiquitous.

Make it happen Sonos!

So sorry if this seems too naive, but I'm a beginner on the Sonos universe, but here it goes:

When using the Playbar's digital input, there will be no latency delay with the sound?

If one is watching a video and uses a Playbar, there would be perfect synchronised sound and picture video between the two devices?

You're hitting every thread related to digital input, which is starting to qualify as spamming. I already answered that question elsewhere.

Ouch... NOT intended, please!

I'm just someone who is looking for answers! I came to these threads using Google search and I'm not posting advertising or similar junk!

All my messages are sincere, but if that is against the forum rules, I apologise.

(The digital world really is a somehow sharp place to be...)

Fair enough. Opening a new question thread of your own would perhaps have been a good idea, or simply sticking one query on the end of a recent related thread. Awakening a lot of dead threads (this one was 2 years old) with the same type of query is regarded as poor netiquette.
