This all seems a bit arse before tit.
The Sonos acts as a source for your amp, which then plays the music through your speakers, alongside the other sources. This will give you digital music, controlled by your phone or tablet, coming out of your speakers.
If you go Sonos multi room, then you could plug one source (CD player or tape deck or decks) into the connect which will digitise it and allow you to synchronise it to other rooms. But you only have one input on the Sonos.
You COULD get a pre amp and use it as a switch over your sources before going into the connect. Bit clunky...

I've just dipped my toes into the Sonos-flavoured-water.
Can anyone recommend me an amp for piping audio into a CONNECT. My old-fashioned hi-fi has been chopped and changed to pieces over 20 years and is now reduced to 2 x Technics 1210s, an Ecler DJ mixer, an old TEAC CD/radio/amp unit (almost broken) and some £10 JBL bookshelf speakers off eBay.
I want to keep the DJ setup, get a new (not necessarily brand new) CD player, amp and possibly tape deck and connect it to Sonos. I like older stuff, amp-wise and I'm no audio snob. Just something that packs a bit of oomph, looks sup3r s1kk and has enough inputs and outputs. something like a lovely old Marantz/Rotel/Denon amp.
