I'd be surprised if the sound quality was different between the two systems (although I suppose the DACs could be quite different, don't know). For me the biggest limitations are that Sonos has a track limit that is much less than my library and it doesn't have the equivalent of your plugins (dynamic playlists, etc.). Those two things alone are a deal breaker for me. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89047 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
