Having been wedded to Sonos for many years I am getting totally fed up with the app struggling to connect and also fancy following some of the advice I've been given here and try some paid-for Qobuz Hi-Res stuff so am planning to get a Bluesound Node 2i and for now leave the Sonos for my wife to listen to her beloved Jeremy Vine and Steve Wright. There is the added annoyance of me having several old Sonos components and all that means.
However, I would like to have a single multi-room system before too long, so am wondering about Roon and have started to do a little research. Already, it seems like one of the best ways to find an answer is to ask questions, so here goes with my first...
I guess it would be best to stick with one brand of speakers, meaning a couple of the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i but is it possible to use a mix of different brands (I resent spending £300 for JV and SW to annoy me) or will that mean I need different apps to control each speaker? Can I use my Sonos speakers for now with just the Roon app and will I still need the Sonos Connect ?
I doubt it is relevant, but my main source is a nas full of ripped cd flac files into an RME ADi2 dac.
Thanks for any help!
