Sonos Port - The Versatile Streaming Component For Your Stereo Or Receiver

The SONOS port (which replaces and costs much more than their older Connect) is designed to be a hub or bridge to or among other SONOS products (primarily speakers). It is wicked easy to install and configure with the SONOS app (I used an iPhone but it works equally well with Android).BUT...(1) It is expensive to a tool that does only one thing.(2) Configuring the source that one outputs into the SONOS port depends on the way that source is defined and SONOS only tells you which ports to use for input and output and to push the button to link to a Newtork or Bluetooth.(3) For making an AV/Stereo receiver work with SONOS port you will need either good documentation from the manufacturer of the source or some kind citizen in a support grou[ who has been there and done that.(4) It took me several hours a day for 5 days to make it play nicely with my Onkyo 6100 A/V receiver, with ZERO help from Onkyo.(5) Now that it is set up and working, it is great.So, check in advance that you have the information about configuring your source.

Works great

This product is basically out of the 1980s. It will not hook up to any modern stereo equipment. No HDMI ports no optical ports. Total waste of money for the price.

This is my second Sonos, first I had the Connect and now the Port. The connect lasted 10 years plus. I am very happy with the port and it does everything I need, it just is quite an expensive piece of kit.

The Port links my CD player to my wi-fi Sonos speaker system using the Sonos App. It's an easy and quick set up (RCA cables) and expands my listening options.

Use this as my streamer on my big stereo.I have a whole house full of Sonos speakers and this just integrated my 2 channel system in with it.It is pricey, considering there's no amp or speakers in it. I think it's more money than their cheapest speaker. But it integrates so well and Sonos just has the best control software.

Best audio purchase I have made in a long time. Easy set up. The thing I like about it the most is everyone in the family can have their own catalog of music list. You also have access to everyone play list. I mostly sink it to my Spotify account which works great.

The Sonos port is part of Sonos S2 series which means in June 2020 it will support HD audio. Right now, it still sounds great. I didn’t notice much difference between the analog and coaxial digital output, but in the end I went with the coaxial output into my amp. The audio in works great and I can get my turntable and tape player into the Sonos system which is handy. The port looks much nicer than the old connect and I do think it sounds better. The downside is ... it’s a bit pricey for what it is.
