New Sonos System and Compatible CD Player with Integrated Amp

Hi.

I’m looking to replace an outdated system with new equipment. Thinking of two x Ones (for large back room) and one x Five for Lounge. We’d like to include a CD player that will link with the Sonos speakers and have been advised that we only need a CD/Amp which will plug directly into the Five and connect wirelessly with the two Ones.

Questions as follows:

  1. Is the above correct? 
  1. Will I need any other Sonos equipment to achieve this (I’ve been advised I won’t)?
  1. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced but decent compact CD player, ideally with an integrated amp that would work with the Sonos kit? 

Thanks

Martyboy

As said you can, but you’d get better sound if playing FLAC or another lossless format so save the MP3 format for places where space for music is more important than sound quality.

 can I play them wirelessly on the Sonos system (4 x Ones) as long as everything’s on the same wi-fi network?

I suggest getting at lease one 5 unit, simply because it offers the additional feature of a line in jack that can be very useful for incorporating third party kit like turntables or Echo Show into the Sonos system. Kit so wired in can be then heard on all or any Sonos speaker in the system.
