Hi all,
I am currently using a Sonos Connect into a dbx Venu360 processor for my 2.1 hi fi system.
Sonos analogue output goes into the dbx which then feeds the power amps so currently my setup is converting DA>AD>DA and I'd like to eliminate the first two.
If I go directly out of the Sonos s/pdif into the AES/EBU of the driverack then I will be using only the DA side of the dbx. My concern is that I will then have to use the digital volume control of the Sonos to control volume and I'm worried about resolution loss at lower volumes.
A possible solution is to use an all digital pre-amp/DAC that has a digital output as an intermediary between the two devices in the hopes that it will have a better quality volume control but this seems like a waste of $ since I wouldn't be taking advantage of the DAC feature of it.
Am I missing some simple solution here or are my concerns about using the Sonos Connect for overall volume overblown?
Thanks for reading.
