I am a devoted Squeezebox Touch user...tough to beat...digital out/analog outs, up to 96/ khz stock (192 Khz with EDO), USB input, wired/wireless....etc
Can you tell me how the Sonos system compares feature wise, in detail? Thanks.

For audiophiles the Squeezebox may be a solution. For every day people or even audiophile looking for background/party music . The Sonos is
the solution.
To start a SONOS system , you buy SONOS Bridge: About $90
Then you can simply Add their wireless speakers almost anywhere in the house. Each Wireless is a Zone.. You can combine two speakers for stereo ...
Or their amplified Zone Player (ZP-120?)to which you attach your speakers of choice
Or their Zone Player (ZP-80 or 90?) to which you attach an AVR/Amp/Active Speaker
If The Wireless doesn;t reach .. You add a bridge to extend the SONOS wireless Network .. Place midway between where it doesn;t reach and where it does ..
Each SONOS Terminal (Speaker, Player, Amp Zone PLayer, bridge, etc) you buy increase the range/reach of the system
it can be controlled with a PC, MAC, iPad, iPhone, Android, iTouch, etc.
You can share the Library on any iPhone/Pad/Touch or Android with the Sonos system once it connects to the WiFI network
It plays music off ANY PC or MAC connected IOW whatever is your library once you're connected to the WiFi Network can be streamed anywhere in the house.
Reliable and simple. Not much technical knowledge required
Oh I forgot! you can connect a NAS to it an then it plays different music from the same NAS in any of the Zones.. Can be expanded to a lot more most people would care about more than 12 Zones. Zones can be grouped very simply.
No it doesn't play 192. It however has USB and TOSLINK/SPDIF connections . It has no audiophile pretenses and is utterly unfriendly with IR remote control. Doesn't cost much and sound is OK .. Oh they have a , of course, wireless sub for their speakers.
