Re: Old Skool
I too have a separates system that produces "proper" stereo with a CD and turntable. It also has a line in from a Sonos Connect which means I can play anything off my NAS through my separates, or via a Sonos speaker in the kitchen, or the Sonos speakers located in the bedroom and study. Or any other room simply by moving one device to where ever I want it. Expensive? A bit, but not prohibitively. Convenient and reliable? Very.
Easy enough to figure out where the Sonos data is going to and drop the outbound connection on my firewall.
I'm not overly concerned about Sonos having some data off me, and it's great that they promise not to sell it on, but the fact that the data is getting to them via the internet means that they have servers available to hack.
