There appears to be no digital output, nor analogue input on the S5 (now called Play:5), so I can only conclude 'no'. It is mean to be an all-in-one.

The Sonos ZP90 is suitable for an external DAC, as you will see from several threads elswhere on this site.

I hope that helps.

No, why would you want to?????  it would have to have a digital out and an anologue in to work which is a bit bizarre

Correction to my earlier reply, although there is an analogue input, there is no digital out, so no external DAC is possible.
