Hardwired Multi Room Audio - Sonos Alternative?

[skippy]

This could be another option http://www.rotel.com/UK/products/ProductDetails.htm?Id=520

It'll do 4 zones in stereo (8 in mono) and has optical and RCA inputs. They also do a 50w/channel if you don't need that much power?

You could start with 1 connect and build your system as funds permit?

That'll play only 1 music in all the zones though.

BB - Input A can be duplicated (linked) in all 4 zones, otherwise they can be entirely independent, looks like a good/flexible piece of kit, dunno how it sounds?
