“Can both outputs (digital and analog) function simultaneously? I'd like to hook this up to an FM transmitter (because my property is too big for WiFi or the Sonos network to reach my garage) and also to a receiver/speaker system in my house. This requires two outputs. Can the Connect provide output to both digital and analog connections (using the same stream) simultaneously? Thanks!”

Yes the Sonos Connect can provide simultaeneous output to all output ports at the same time. My living room Connect's optical output is connected to a NAD 375's DAC, the coax out is connected to a Denon HT receiver, the analog L/R out is connected to a bose pc speaker. All devices can play the same signal at the same time if needed. On top of that, my Sonos Connect's input L/R ports are connected to a set-top box. This allows for the set top box to trigger and send TV audio content to my remote Sonos play 1 without affecting the signal on the Sonos Connect itself.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This kind of sound like 2 questions. 1 - My home is kind of long and my Garage has 4 bays Sonos Connect which drives 6 speakers in my garage and workshop are connect by an Ethernet cable. That said, Sonos can set up its own "Sonos-Net" propitiatory 2.4Ghz network and it does have a limited range but as long as it has a sort of daisy chain of Sonos devices working its way across your home into the garage, it will work. Alternatively if you must go wireless, Sonos does in fact sell a "Sonos Boost" which has better range and connects into your wired Ethernet cable someplace nearest distant garage. I use that in the upper portion of my home where I do have an Ethernet Cable to connect to it. this may also solve the distance issue. 2 - as far the two connections both digital and analog... Sonos has both and I presume both operate at the same time because I use both in one of my applications... my connect feeds my TV signal to speakers as well as feeding my streaming music to my speakers. Call Sonos as the folks are amazing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, they can both work at the same time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes both work
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. You can have two inputs to the Connect, but it can only "broadcast" one or the other.
