Ditching my HiFi and running audio sources through Arc+Surrounds+sub

I have a solid HiFi system for my vinyl and CDs- NAD amp + Magnepans + RHLabs Sub but I am contemplating downsizing to getting a Sonos Port and running these audio sources through my Sonos system (Arc + Sub mini+ 2 Eras 100 surrounds). The audio sound space through the Sonos system (streaming) is so good that it is motivating me to downsize (and my wife would love to lose the gigantic Maggies from our living room). Would the best path be to get a Sonos Port and use the line outs from my NAD receiver to direct sources to the Port? Would I be able to direct a CD or TT source to my Sonos Arc+ Sub Mini+ Eras surrounds system? (I have an external Preamp for my TT). Thanks in advance.

The Port will work, I'd use a simple inputt selector switch to swap inputs. Any other Sonos with a line-in would work too, lower cost.

Consider ripping the CDs to a lossless formats and using the Sonos music library. Far more convenient than swapping CDs.
