I bought a Sonos Amp, really should’ve bought a Port for what my intended setup. I am not even sure what I can use the Amp for since there is no audio out. Probably going to just have to sell it. Right now I have a connect for my in celling speakers, I guess I could use the amp for a couple of those.

Let’s be careful about definitions. “Amp” is a SONOS product capable of driving traditional passive speakers and “amp” is slang for a generic “amplifier” that is also capable of driving traditional passive speakers. A stereo or A/V receiver contains an amplifier. “CONNECT” or “PORT” are SONOS products that function similarly to a traditional cassette deck. PORT or CONNECT could be used as an input source to the Aton system, traditional amplifier or receiver.
I’ll agree with thedonva that the SONOS Amp has no function unless a seventh zone is needed. Even then CONNECT or PORT would be required for input to the Aton.
In any case, you would want to use a y-connection to send CONNECT’s audio to the receiver. This would allow SONOS audio to play through the receiver and Aton.

Instead of making convoluted expansions of the signal path, which, at best, will delivery equal SQ compared to the Connect, think of adding a pair of VFM HiFi speakers to create another HiFi zone in the home.

Any speakers in particular? I do think that may be the best option for my sun room...
My experience is limited to UK/EU makes like Dali/Q Acoustics/Quad, but I believe these are sold for silly prices in the US and are not value for money there. US makes like Klipsch or Polk make similar ones, but I have not used these; in any case the best thing to do is buy after a listen, because speaker preferences can be subjective and change from one person to the next.
