In another post (which has been closed) the op asks about using a streaming player like wiim or eversolo with sonos. The op asks if apple music can be streamed lossless. A response post says that any sonos device with a line in can take 48bit music from the streaming device via the line in. Since my arc doesn’t have line in, i’m trying to wrap my head around this. I have arc and era 300s. So in I route the line in into one era 300s, it will play the music over the entire room? (arc and eras) or just the 300 (s). If the music is spacial audio (or atmos), will it play it as such?

Thanks for the reply, I'll try to be clearer here.

They are adding a streamer that duplicates functionality that already exists in the Sonos system. Maybe it has some features Sonos or the various supported streaming apps provide, I didn't look to see.

Adding a streaming device using the analog line-in option is the second lowest quality connection method possible, superior only to Bluetooth. Surrendering quality and multi-channel options for some control functions just doesn't seem a wise choice.

Yes, I am not disputing that. I am simply suggesting that using an alternative device to interface with your music, while still relying on your existing Sonos infrastructure, could be a reason someone might choose to do this.

I do not believe I stated that it was not.

I interpreted adding "a" dedicated streamer as exactly that, rather than adding another or an additional one.
