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.

Great addition to my sound system I bought the Sonos port in almost new condition, and literally was almost new, the old buyer just pulled the port of out the bag and returned, the wires were in their original sealed bag. At the first time I struggled to set it up, but once is working it just work every single time without any issues. I guess is a matter of luck when you buy “almost new” products, this time I had very good luck

I struggled for a lot of time trying to combine a Bose L1 (outside for events) with Sonos speakers inside home. Airplay just didn’t work because it added delay to Sonos existing delay. Now I can have my house Sonos speakers perfectly in sync with my external Bose speakers (connected via RCA cables), all using Sonos sync and no more unreliable AirPlay+Sonos combination. The product should cost more like 199$ So it hurts but I must admit that yes 250$ more were worth it for finally solving my sync issues forever.

Would not connect to an existing room in my system. There's $500 thrown in the garage.

Good product, but the price is way too high.

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.

Great way to integrate a 2 channel system into a Sonos environment. I use the RCA digital out to connect to an Aesthetix Romulus DAC, analog RCA out goes to preamp to use when the DAC is off. I also connect the record out of the preamp to the RCA in to dispute whatever is on the 2 channel system throughout the Sonos environment. Obvious connection points but some folks like the details. With this setup I can listen to the same music on the deck via the Sonos move as I have on the main 2 channel system. If the music is recorded well it sounds good via the Port. Not as good as it would directly through a high quality DAC but very useable.

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.

Funciona perfectamente para conectar tu sistema de audio externo, aunque sea un equipo de más de 30años, pero require de algunas cosas: que el modelo de tus bocinas tenga amplificador integrado, como los modelos Era 100 o 300, y que si vas?a conectar una tornamesa, esta tenga integrado un preamplificador, o comprar uno externo para conectar entre la tornamesa y Sonos Port......fácil de instalar y configurar con la app Sonos en tu celular.

As advertised, now I can play my older equipment and new electronics through my Sonos speakers

Overall I would say it’s a great add on to my existing setup. Ease of setup - clarity of sound and performance is great. I have harbeth speakers and they sound excellent with this component.

Hat alle meine Erwarungen erfüllt. Leicht in mein bestehendes System eingebunden und in Betrieb genommen. Etwas höherer Preis, aber dafür sehr wertig.

We had the original Version 1 Sonos bridge setup, and as it began to regularly cut out on us, thought that it was time to upgrade. We decided on this route, and have been delighted with our decision. Highly recommended, and so far it's been rock solid with no issues at all.
