Preferable Sonos connection

[Deleted User] · January 2017

I recently picked up a Sonos Connect and was wondering if I should use the optical or coaxial output ? Or doesn't it really matter ? I'm presently using a Parasound Halo Integrated and a video coaxial interconnect because that's all I had around the house.

I can only speak from personal experience, but...I'd use a digital coax cable, and one of decent quality not an old video cable.

MIT makes a decent digital coax for cheap too....as well as many others.

MIT and cheap in the same sentence. Things must have changed a lot in the last 5 years

Their clearance site used to have them under 100 bucks, don't know if they still maintain that clearance site though.

I'm pretty sure Skip may have a Wireworld digital coax hanging around too. I'd try and find a digital cable with not a lot of glare to it for using with a Sonos, as that top end glare with the wrong cables can be a tad irritating.

Look on HI-FI SHARK, US Audio Mart, Audiogon, here...that Audio nerd dude doesn't have near what the old clearance site had.

I agree and this is how I have mine.
