Hi all,
I'm interested in a whole house audio setup..
-approx 8 zones
- using streamers as sources..eg sonos and may mix units with built-in amps and some without, as its seems a multichannel amp may be cheaper (eg HTD)
-control via one or more tablets
- only need 2-3 independent zones for their own music playback..hence 2-3 streamers required, however I do want to be able to control sound to each zone independently.
-prefer a tablet for metadata instead of a keypad, so not sure if I need them at all
I'm wondering about how you manage volume control with this type of setup?
Does the answer change if one of the streamers was using its digital out into a DAC/Amplifier combo in the main listening room?
Does it make a difference if you use a multi-channel amp vs individual 2-channel amps?
thanks
