Ah yes, this has always been the case!
I have 3 Sonos Connect devices and a Sonos Bridge feeding them all. One in the main rig, one in the garage system and one in my basement/office system. Hard to beat for convenience, fidelity can be bested though.
My main rig Connect feeds an external DAC. That helped.
But when I am going to sit, chill, and listen, I stream through my 2009 MacBook feeding the same DAC.
I have a dresser full of cd’s but no player worth putting into a system.
