• I have a Sonos Connect Gen:1 up for sale.

    Due to the recent announcements at Sonos, I took the plunge and upgraded one of my two Connects to a Port. This leaves me with this one spare so, here it is. I'm looking for just £65 for it.

    It has either stero line out or coax digital out and can take a stereo line in. (If you want to plug in a turntable you will need a phono stage.)

    You can use the line out in fixed mode, to feed a pre-amp; or in variable volume mode, using the Connect as a preamp. I have done both and both worked very well.

    You can use the digital out to feed a DAC, which is what I do with my main hifi setup (which I am keeping, and will have as an independent Sonos System*). In this mode it sounds really very good.

    n.b - It is not going to get any further upgrades from Sonos and any network of Sonos kit that it is part of will not receive any upgrades. It will work happily stand alone, or separate from a newer Sonos system in the same house. More details available on the Sonos website.

    (* I have a Sonos Beam sound bar in the same room, which I can use for grouping radio around the house or whatever. I may upgrade the Connect to a Port in the future, or use the trade in to get a Move.)

    Grab a bargain.

  • Very tempted by this. If I get Roon or Tidal or something can I add it as a source in Sonos and get uncompressed super quality out? (digital coax > DAC [would need to buy] > preamp)

    Anyone want to buy our Play:5 gen 1 that's currently being used only as a line out? £120
