As I've understood, one of the Sonos devices have to be connected with
a wire then the rest will communicate wireless using Sonos proprietary
wireless protocol.
So if you have two Play:3 devices and one is connected with wire it
works. If you want both to be wireless, you need their cheaper Bride
device and connect that to the router to make their proprietary
wireless network to work.
I guess the reason at least one needs to be wired is because they can't
talk standard WiFi with the router since they only understand Sonos
proprietary wireless protocol.
Squeezebox uses standard WiFi and due to this all Squeezeboxes can be
wireless. The disadvantage with Squeezebox which uses standard WiFi is
that it's usually a bit more complex to setup unless you know how to
setup a wireless network.
If someone have compared the audio quality from a Squeezebox and Sonos
device it would be very interesting to hear the result. It feels like
sometimes we just assume that Squeezebox sounds better, but is it
really possible to hear any difference in a real world comparison ?
