What Gen Sonos would be my first question?
You will never be happy with the Sonos integration unless you are a ride or die Sonos guy. And that’s definitely okay. It’s a neat little ecosystem, but it’s own.
I was a ride or die, but then I sold off all of my Sonos for Heos because of some of the reasons others recommended Heos for AND because I got top dollar from all of my Sonos as a resell if supply chain issues. You still can get a lot for it.
I also experimented with BlueOS and liked it, but it too fell short (can’t remember why). I do remember it was nice.
You won’t be happy until you do Ryff or even Mirage (Autonomics). There are trade offs for both, but please don’t design your distributed audio around AVRs and Soundbars. Dedicate speakers for distributed audio only. I was stuck on that forever (hence my 3 prior audio experiments… just feels better calling them experiments).
Do separate distributed versus adding your AV endpoints and you’ll get the full Ryff, Mirage or Fusion experience. If you’re doing Room Control Driver preset cycler, do native. Want a more robust Spotify, choose mirage or fusion.
Done.
