I have received and installed a new Sonos Port, replacing the Connect in my main audio setup. I am using the digital coax output into a Monolith HTP-1 processor, so the HTP-1 DAC's are converting the stream to analog. The purpose of swapping out the Connect with the Port is that I have been plagued with audio lost connections when streaming lossless FLAC from Deezer and Tidal. My experiences have been documented earlier in this thread. I'll report back as to whether the Port performs better WRT the dropped connections.
The purpose of this post is to solicit feedback from any Sonos users who are running a mixed S1/S2 setup (I still have a connect in my bedroom system). I am currently running the mixed setup using the S1 app, but I am concerned with the Sonos warning "While using the S1 controller, your system will not receive new software features".
For anyone with a mixed setup, what are you doing? If I download the S2 controller, can I use it to control the Port, and continue using the S1 controller for the Connect? Any other advice you would have for my new setup?
Edit: Never mind. I found a Sonos FAQ that answers my questions. I am inclined to continue using the S1 controller unless someone has an opinion that this would be a bad idea.
