Hi All,
I'm looking for configurator legends for this challenge. My wife really likes when I stream vinyl from the Devialet to the Sonos in her studio. When I had the Expert 250, I would do so by using the digital output in the 250 to connect to a cheap DAC which then connected to the Sonos Connect's analog inputs. It worked pretty well, although the Sonos connection would cut out from time to time.
However, the digital output which I was using to connect to the Sonos is now needed to connect to the companion 250. My master unit is using the other digital output to connect to a powered sub. So I still have the additional output on the Companion, however, I only have two options in the configurator for setting that output up. Either it can act as a Digital Input or Pre-amped Output. Given that it can be set to full frequency, it seems like I should be able to select Pre-Amped Output and make this sucker work. Interestingly, when I select the Pre-Amped Output option, the Configurator does not require the trig out connection between the Master and Companion.
So here's what I've done. I connected the Pre-Amped out from the Companion to the cheap DAC to the Sonos. No go. Didn't work. Then I got a 1-Male to 2-Male RCA and connected directly between the Companion and the Connect. Also no dice. I have not yet connect the trig out of the Master to the Companion yet given the configurator did not require it, although I just ordered a cable to do so to see how that goes.
Has anyone else attempted to get an Expert 1000 streaming to Sonos? I'd love to hear how you did it!
Thanks!
