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.
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 Obviously that's not one of Sono's concerns, or just makes the case that shielding is obsolete for audio interconnections and sources?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 :D
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.
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.
