streamer

Hi. 

I have just moved house and seriously thinking of extending my current two play3s into a house wide setup with two 5s in the lounge, the 3s in the dining room and 1s in the kitchen and bedroom. 

Trying to ascertain if I could gain improvement to music quality by using a dedicated streamer/amp/DAC of some description rather than using my pc?

If you could offer advice that would be appreciated. 

Cheers.

Hi @Ian Edmonds, welcome to the community.

 

If you do get the products in the setup you mentioned you wouldn’t need to get a dedicated streamer or DAC. The Sonos apps on your mobile devices and computer would be able to send audio to your whole Sonos system without any degradation in audio quality.
