Hi

I play vinyl over my Sonos system using a turntable connected to a Sonos Port (with a phono pre-amp in between).

I’m trying to find a component to connect into the setup (possibly via the Port’s outputs?) that would allow me to rip the vinyl wirelessly.

Ideally the new setup would look like:

Turntable line output → Sonos Port → {mystery component} → WiFi network → PC (with ripping software)

I’ve been looking at AudioPro Link2 as a possible solution but can’t tell if that will give me what I’m looking for.

Anyone have any experience of something like this?

Many thanks.

Ian

There’s no reason to include a Sonos report in your chain of devices.  I also wouldn’t try and involve WiFi as it’s just going to complicate things.  Ripping should be a one time event, so typically not need ting to worry about the aesthetics of device location, etc.

    I'd seen that article and that's what sent me here.   I'd like to avoid creating a dedicated ripping station and the aesthetics of my setup is important to me.  Hence the search for a sonos to WiFi bridge...

    The Port cannot be a part of your solution, Sonos give no access to the digital music stream anywhere in the system.

    Turntable → A2D converter → PC is the way if the turntable lacks its own digital output. Even easier i the turntable has a USB connection.
