OK, so got my Triad One up and running on Friday night and have been super pleased with the performance. The sound quality has been superior to Sonos in my opinion, especially after tweaking the built-in multi-band EQ settings. Sonos simply had bass and treble adjustments and sounded a bit flat by comparison.
Response has been amazing - i use a keypad to trigger Sirius and with the Connect Amp / Sonos the response was super inconsistent, sometimes taking a few seconds, but mostly taking anywhere between 30 seconds and a minute to fire up. Sometimes no response at all, which forced me to launch the Sonos app. Triad One responds within 5 seconds.
I absolutely love having my owned music collection integrated through the My Music (DLNA). All of my shit now shows up on my navigators and iOS app, including playlists, artists, genres, but I do have a few things yet to figure out around the queue - like how can I view it?
Let's say I want to shuffle all of my Pink Floyd collection? When I go to artist - each album comes up - do I add them one by one to the queue? If anyone has any reading material on that it would be super helpful.
It's only been a few days but for folks starting from scratch - I'd definitely skip Sonos and go with the native integration path - I would have if I hadn't already owned a bunch of Sonos gear before I got my system.
