Struggling with designing a reliable setup

[sfleck]

Is that because they want multi-room playback with both devialet and Sonos?

Stopped using Roon a while ago as I got fed up with all the bugs but if they have (finally) fixed the Sonos integration you could set them all up as zones as the multi zone playback sync is quite good in roon?

Chris, thank-you for replying and helping me out!

Yes, they want multi-room playback with Sonos ... they love their Devialet speakers though.

Here is my current challenge. They will have four (4) Phantom I's  in the great room. 2-Left and 2-Right setup as a sigle zone. These all have power and Cat6 run to them as suggested by Devialet ... their solution was to use Toslink -> Cat6 baluns to connect Sonos ports to the Phantoms with toslink cables.

So, my preference would be to use Cat6 to deliver the audio signal to the phantoms and eliminate the need to convert the audio outputs ... I would then connect the Sonos Port with digital coax to the Devialet Arch as the source. I assume this is the purpose of the Arch? Does this sound like a good setup considering i HAVE to include Sonos?

Thanks again!
