I use a couple of sonos connect (non amp) with two sets of beolab 4000’s. I don’t have any b&o sources, and mainly use Spotify via the iOS app or sonos apps. One pair is in the bedroom, another in the office. In both cases I use the extra input on the sonos for my tv and pc respectively. The combo works really well.

Thanks! I’ll look into a Connect since they are really cheap now. I am guessing the software implementation of Sonos is likely also better than B&O. My concern was if the Core had superior audio quality for instance.

Hi there - this may be worth 10 mins of your time.

He's a great audio reviewer, some very high end, though this video is a comp of various streaming boxes to the Sonos Connect etc.

Thanks Sandyb for sharing. Excellent video and comparison. Great options there to upgrade my Connects 🙂

I do not think that the internals of the Core are technical superior besides the Powerlink jack to connect B&O loudspeaker easier. 

Probably the price is twice as high, because B&O has to finance the continuously changing, unstable, faulty and planless software projects for Beovision 14, Avant, Beosound 5, Moment and now the Bang&Olufsen App.
