The old Sonos driver has finally begun to give up the ghost for me, now that it no longer supports Pandora. I am trying to understand what the options are going forward, whether it is with the new endorsed driver or some other solution. I could use some advice and some clarifications from the experts.
Right now, I have 10 audio zones. I have no matrix amp, because (I think) the Sonos network acts kinda like the matrix amp. Is that the correct interpretation? Currently, it would be a huge pain to run speaker wires to all 10 zones from one or two central locations in the house. So, I assume it would correspondingly be a huge pain to switch over to a C4 matrix amp, because I would need to run speaker wires in that fashion -- is that also correct?
If so, let's assume I grit my teeth and stick with Sonos network as the "matrix," along with the new endorsed driver. Is it possible to configure the system so that I can use C4's Pandora and Tidal drivers to browse music from inside a C4 Touch Screen? Or is this categorically impossible without running speaker wires everywhere? If it's possible, what (roughly) is the setup I should be asking my dealer for?
If anyone else has other thoughts or advice for how to get through the tragic demise of my old driver, that would be welcome.
