Playbar PS4 and Nvidia Shield

I'm considering buying the Playbar for our new apartment.. But I have some thoughts before I buy (besides the high price tag).

I already have 2 Play:1s which I plan to be back surround speakers. But I'm unsure about some things:

1. Is it not possible to connect the Playbar wirelessly to the network without the Sonos Bridge? Or do you have to plug it directly in my router via a cable?

2. My Setup consists of a Samsung Smart Tv, a PS4 and an Nvidia Shield. Will I be able to experience the full sound experience from these sources? (PS4 and Nvidia are plugged in the TV by HDMI).

I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Thanks 🙂

Dude that is my bad! I was certain it had.. So the way I would go ahead with this would be:

Sonos playbar -> connect optical to my TV.
PS4 and Nvidia Shield, connect via HDMI to my TV
Use Playbar with both ps4 and Nvidia shield right? :-)

Yes will work, just confirm your tv has optical out 😉 Wether you get 5.1 DD is the maybe.

Tbh I don't notice a difference btw 2.0 and 5.1. If you want to hear a difference add a sub, huge.

My TV has optical out luckily.. 🙂 Thanks for the reply

Hi all, you know if this (Turtle Beach Audio Advantage) cable will work to connect the Nvidia Shield directly with the Sonos Playbar and get DD 5.1?

It's from 2015 though and it's not anymore available on Amazon.

Reason is that my Samsung TV optical out doesn't to put through DD 5.1..... 😞
