Good luck keeping all those separate D/A converters in sync for more than a few minutes.

This Parasound is likely (hopefully) to have a master clock that each D/A uses and is synced to.
Ok…welI just don’t see the point really if this is really intended to be used with 4 centrally located Sonos players. First the Sonos DAC is sufficient for such things. And the Sonos will sync the signal to others Sonos controllers seamlessly.
Second each Sonos player can have separate tone adjustment (though not crossover..but why would one need to in such a use case? Subs? But powered subs or central amps for np subs usually have low pass filters… and the crossover in the parasound seems terrible); and instead of trigger sense Iget a power amp with signal sensing. Most central Avenue preamp/controllers have 12v triggers already as well. And if one is going to put four sonic or other streamers in a home run location, chances are one will need a control pre amp anyway…in case you ever want to do anything not on Sonos.
I have a whole house audio with a home run to one location in an it closet (also the hone run for all the cat6, coax, hdmi runs etc.) I was building the house anyway and speaker wire is cheap relatively. So why not. I have a Sonos in there and a multi zone preamp and amp for ceiling speakers and two
separate power amps for remote, but “proper,” speakers. If I wanted more Sonos zones, I can’t see why I wouldn’t put them in the spaces I wanted them to serve with a good small ncore and shorter cable runs though…I dunno.
I guess I am being thick.
