Sonos Connect as source for UnitiQute

Posted by: Jejoma on 15 September 2012

I'm trying to run a feed from a Sonos Connect to my UnitiQute - So I can listen to Spotify and Wolfgang's Vault though my hi-fi set-up. I have connected the Sonos analogue outputs to the UQ analogue inputs.

From my PC, the Sonos seems correctly set up and I can create a queue. The UQ can see the queue and the individual tracks but will not play it. On my n-Stream iPad app, on the opening page for the Sonos, the one that lists queues, internet radio etc., there is the message "Error Loading Item" at the bottom.

Can anyone help me please?

I've answered my question myself. I was trying to be too clever! I hadn't got the set up right for controlling from the iPad app, I needed to use the UnitiQte remote and select the input there.

Silly sod!

I'd try digital out into Qute instead....

Good idea, a cable from Amazon is on it's way to me now!

Before a cable arrives from amazon, I use 1 standard from a pair I have to connect my Sonos to the coax input on my dac. Just check that the cable is 75 ohm.

I haven't got a cable with the correct connection for the Naim end. It's a different (slightly odd?) socket to the Sonos end so I thought I would try an optical lead.
