I had a similar problem with multiple squeezebox and the cure was to uncheck the "delay to prevent dts click"
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. That sounds promising, but I'm not familiar with this setting. Is it accessible from the front panel or only through MConfig?

Only MConfig and it is defaulted to off.
I forget if 561 has it, but if it has the option "poor digital source", try turning it on. Only available in MConfig.

I've never used MConfig on this unit (or any other for that matter). I know I'll need to with the 861, but I have been avoiding it on the 561 since when I fist got the 561 10 years ago there weren't Intel Macs, and using VirtualPC was a nightmare.

Have successfully tried 17 Sonos Zones with three of those into Meridian Processors and another into an F80. All play perfectly in Sync
Depending on Room Locations and Doors etc., there may be "perceived" differences caused by Sound traveling relatively slowly
Make sure the ZP80 Line Out is set to "Fixed" rather than Variable

If you can, swap two of the Sonos boxes over and see if the delay moves with the Sonos, or stays with the processor.

Make sure the ZP80 Line Out is set to "Fixed" rather than Variable I can stand pretty much equidistant from the living room and kitchen speakers and there is a definite lag on the Meridian zone. I had the ZP80 on "Fixed" but then set it on "Variable" when I tried plugging it right into the DSP33s. I'll try that this evening also. Thanks.

I have no problem with a SONOS and an 861... You saying you have multiple Sonos systems (not connected to Meridian equipment) and they sync fine with 861. Correct, I am saying that the ZP90 that is connected to my 861 and the ZP120s that are not connected to the my 861 (i.e. they are connected directed to speakers) sync perfectly (at least to my ears)...

The problem appears to be the 561. Plugging the Sonos directly into the DSP33s results in perfect sync. Going back to the 561 resulted in delay. I guess I'll have to dig into MConfig.

If you can't resolve it with 561 settings.
You can setup D2 on the DSP-33's. It's a little tricky.
See wiki. But I think you need legacy Mconfig for setting them up.
You must also have a "Master" cable going to one of them.
