The ease of set up and use is another huge plus of Sonos for me. I have never had a chance to do a head to head comparison to my Denon/Cambridge Audio/Bel Canto and Monitor Audio/Magnepan/Focal systems and my Sonos but I must say I have been pretty amazed at how much I appreciate the sound quality of the Sonos system I have. The other app I use is Qobuz streaming but this is strictly a tool of discovery and review of music played back via the Roon app at home. Primarily I use Roon for music playback to the Sonos system but occasionally I use the Sonos app. ITunes/Music is still my primary tool for importing and managing my library but I use it sparingly at home for playback. I began ripping my library with iTunes with error correction on but transitioned to dBpoweramp for ripping for many years now. In the past year I have begun to include purchased ALAC lossless downloads primarily of newly released material where I don't have to wonder about which mastering to chose or to a lesser degree back catalog items where I am comfortable that I have identified the mastering as the one I want. The creation of my digital library began around 2007 and had been until this past year 100% ripped CDs/SACDs. I do not have any multi-room needs that the Sonos are well known for. I also have the Sonos Playbar for my TV Audio. I use two Sonos Play 5 units paired for stereo and the Sonos Sub as my music system. However back about five years ago I made a big change and decided for various reasons to "simplify" what I was doing. I've had some pretty cool and very enjoyable systems over the past 50 years. Over the years I have traversed through many brands and levels of quality including Mitsubishi (first CD player), Denon (receivers and CD players), McIntosh, AD, Magnepan, Monitor Audio, Cambridge Audio, Bel Canto, Focal and more.
My very first "real" audio system was all Pioneer equipment. My audio equipment interests and experiences begin in the early 1970's.
