1560 with Sonos, which DAC to use?

[MTRX]

I was wondering if I should keep using Sonos analog out out or use digital and let 1560's DAC do the conversion?

Eventually I'm planning to get Musical Fidelity V-DAC anyways.

Definitely use the 1560 DAC. The Sonos analog out is not very good.

I would listen to the same song over and over trying it both ways. If you use high quality IC's for analog , you will be able to hear what the DAC's in the Sonos can sound like. If you decide to use the Optical out , make sure you also use a high quality cable so you reduce or remove Jitter from your tests to make it fair.
I don't know what DAC's are in the Sonos ZP90 but I have not be let down on the hundreds I have Installed.

Anyone know what DAC's are in the ZP90? What is Rotel using these days?

Compare the two and decide for yourself which sounds better.
