Music Streaming via Sonos?

[klolyn]

Hi All.

I have a Sonos system; 2 x Play1, Playbar and Sub. The play bar is connected to my Samsung TV connection box and thence to the Broadband Router. My PC is a hard wire connection to the Router, and I use the Sonos app on the PC to relay tunes from Tidal to the speakers. Is this set up making the most of the HIFI streaming service I'm receiving from Tidal? Should I connect a WIFI Network Steamer (so the PC doesn't need to be on) to the cable from the PC, thence to Router or would I need a Sonos Connect box to add the streamer - bit confused with deciding if, how, to achieve the best streaming sound and maximise the kit I have (maybe revert to bog standard Tidal subscription and leave all as-is....?)

TIA,

Klolyn

You can stream from whatever you like, the sonos decides the sound based on your streaming service provider (tidal) being hifi tier or not. If your wifi is strong enough to stream tidal hifi being wired should not be any benefit
