I’ve never personally tested these devices, I do use an HDFury Arcana to generate an eARC signal to go to my Vizio TV.Īs to your second query, I think you’ve gotten some, but not all the correct information. Most common HDMI switches instead pull the stream off and put it on an optical output, but there are, I think, some that can put it on an ARC channel via HDMI. To be specific, separates the incoming HDMI audio stream, and outputs it back out via either ARC or eARC ‘pins’ on the HDMI cable. To my knowledge, there are very few regular HDMI switches that might handle ARC, and one (maybe two, I’m unfamiliar with the second one), the HDFury Arcana, that handles eARC. Which means they’re looking for data on a specific set of pins coming from an ARC/eARC source, which is not a standard HDMI output. They’re all inputs, of the ARC/eARC variety. I’ll take exception to Danny’s statement of the HDMI port on any Sonos device being an output.
The capability to use the Sonos sub is the very reason I purchased the Amp and not the Connect. They stated that the Sonos sub could NOT be added to the Sonos Amp's infrastructure while it was my understanding that the Sonos Amp WAS capable of being integrated with it and that it is actually the Sonos Connect which can't support the Sonos sub. NOTE: Could you verify and/or correct some information I received in this forum from a different user? What would happen if I plugged it into one of my existing AV receiver's hdmi inputs? Would my Sonos amp in effect become the most expensive Sonos connect? If so that's not a bad option for me since I would simply just add the Sonos sub to my amp. I'm very interested in your statement that the Sonos Amp's HDMI is actually an Output.
I did know that you could run a second pair of speakers in parallel on the same binding post for the Amp but I planned on a(s you suggested) adding 2 OneSL's for that purpose. For what it doesn’t cover, you have the option of using a Port with the Receiver of your was a really great and detailed answer so thank you for that. However, I think Sonos covers most of that with single or multiple amps. I’m not suggesting that traditional receivers have no place in the market anymore, as I think they do for a lot of people. This could add cost depending on what you choice, but means you don’t need to have speaker wire from the front to back of the room. If you want surround speakers, Sonos is setup to do this wirelessly, with Sonos speakers or a 2nd amp. Perhaps some A/B speaker option would be nice, and I suspect that would add a little benefit with little cost. If you’re looking for additional stereo speakers, you can connect a 2nd pair of speakers to the same posts as long as all speakers are 8 ohm. And I think having the ability to have more than 2 pair of speaker wire posts in a 2 channel system that pushes 125W per channel ( which for most speakers is much more than enough) is not asking a lot for something deemed to be an amplifier.
