Sonos Connect directly into MC452?

To improve the sound 

Mine just sounds much better that way both in testing with proper protocol and years of listening as I have both in my home 

Thank you everyone. I suppose trying it out at the local dealer wouldn't hurt. CONNECT does have volume control, and it has an excellent mobile app, and I am uncertain if adding a preamp when I neither need source selection nor volume control will be of sufficient benefit.

That said, if it wastes the value MC452 brings, then I need to rethink.

@gtur,

If I may suggest, try Bluesound Node 2. I have recently bought Vault 2 to replace my Connect. I was pleasantly surprised by its exceptional sound quality...much much better than Sonos Connect.

You have a great amp...
