Todd DeFuedis –
I replaced my old Logitech system with 8 Sonos products, a very expensive endeavor. For a while I was quite happy, as I could listen to both streaming services and my large library of music that is not available on streaming services. If I wanted to add a song to my current queue, it was a simple 2 click operation.
However, for some reason, they decided to roll out an app update that eliminated all options to modify the current queue. In addition, they app has no ability to modify system settings, so when I changed my wifi password (which I do on a monthly basis), I lost the connection to all of my devices. So now I have 8 Sonos products that I cannot listen to, and I’m now faced with once again having to replace my system.
My advice: avoid Sonos. I’ll update this with alternative systems once I decide which new one I’m going with.

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.

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.

Installed Port between pre-amp and power amp of an older stereo system which allows remote control of volume for traditional components (CD player, vinyl turntable, radio tuner) as well as adding newer streaming services. Works like a charm!

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 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.

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.

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 Sonos Port is the most recent addition for integrating a pair of KEF LS50W.
On the plus side stands the easy setup and integration including the passthrough volume control. Beyond that, it becomes a matter of preferences, and this is where the port lacks, significantly.
Quality:
The port rattles inside, likely a part/screw became loose, yet it works fine.
The RCA interconnector cable that comes in the box is a disgrace for that price tag, and for Sonos’ carefully created image to care about the “best music reproduction”. The same for the power brick, the cheapest option on the market – neither are shielded which is really strange for a wireless system that should try to eliminate any wireless noise pollution. Obviously that’s not one of Sono’s concerns, or just makes the case that shielding is obsolete for audio interconnections and sources? Boy, this would send a whole industry into a downward spin 😀
Signal control:
No option to disable DSP and EQ. The EQ options can be left on neutral, but I would much prefer a guaranteed bypass function that disables all sound processing (except time adjustment for multiroom streaming) to enjoy an uncolored sound experience when connected to another amplifier (after all that’s the main purpose of the Port).
Conclusion:
Bottom line, the Sonos Port is a necessity for Sonos owners to integrate any 3rd party equipment but it feels cheap and quickly thrown together.
In my seven years of Sonos ownership, this is the first time I am actually starting to question the value of the ecosystem, or rather the approach (the built quality of Sonos and the Sonos AMP are absolutely fantastic).
The only way to evaluate and answer this is an in-home evaluation of other streaming solutions.

Un excelente producto, lo adquirí para poder escuchar mi reproductor de cd ONKYO y añadirlo a mi sistema de sonido SONOS y fue genial. Ampliamente recomendado

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.
