There are so many Audio Gear forums I wasn’t sure which to choose for my question. Feel free to chastise me for being in the wrong place.
My house has 16 room pre wired into a tech closet in the basement. Each room or “zone” had a dedicated Sonos Port. This was all the rave at the time but clearly there are better and more efficient solutions on the market now.
I would like to remove all the Sonos Port devices and connect each zone to a multiport amplifier. Easy enough and it is actually how Sonos delivers the amplifier sound to each room currently.
My question is if there is multizone amplifier solution that integrates with Roon. I don’t believe there is a restriction on how many sources Roon allows but if I had to I could reduce the number of sources. I would want full power to each port and would use Roon to adjust volume control. I could also group multi Roon zones together which is a nice feature on Roon that I never use right now.
Right now I have a Nucleus Titan connected to a Denon-A110. Works well for a home theater environment but I don’t find the zone 2/3 options very useful ad I would need dedicated amplification to each room “zone”.
So after all that, does anyone have any ideas on a multiport/multizone amplifier that integrates with Roon to make it a truly whole house music system. If so this would be an incredible step forward for Room.
