Hi,
I’m considering purchasing a Play 5 to connect directly to my HIFI. I have a Naim NAC122x amp. Could anyone please advise how I would hook the speaker up and what type of cable I would use?
Many thanks,

HIFI to Play 5 Set Up

Your Naim NACs are redundant in this scenario, you would take the output from whatever preamp you are using to the Play 5.
Isn’t the Naim NAC122x a pre amp?
I corrected myself, it’s the combo amp and power in a box jobbie
ah rats… Bloody Niam with their naming YES it just a PRE.
anyhoo… it has a bunch of in / outs available
Hi, thanks for your response. I have a NAP 150x amp and NAC 122x pre-amp. I think that bockersjv suggestion of two phono to 3.5mm should work? Do you have any idea how I would set up if I elected to have a pair of play 5’s? Do I just have a hardwired connection to one of those speakers? Many thanks.
You just hardwire to one of the Sonos 5 speakers, you pair them in the Sonos App.
Before I make a couple arse of myself…. looking at the back of the NAC122x you will need a DIN to 3.5mm NAC122x. Using No. 3 marked Tape in/out

+21The only way would be connect a line out cable from one of the amp line outs into the Play 5 3.5mmline in. So depending on the outputs on the amp ride need a two phone make to 3.5mm stereo cable

Edit… apologies… that’s the combo. You can use one of the in/outs via a Din lead but have to ask what you are trying to achieve
