You’d need some sort of analog output from the Mac mini, and a Sonos line in adapter to the Era 100. Alternately, you could connect to the Era 100 by Bluetooth. Either way, as long as both Era 100s are on your network properly, you’d get stereo from the pair, but since Sonos doesn’t make speakers designed for connection directly to computers, you’d still have to deal with the 75ms line in delay built in to the software, making lip-sync / game play virtually impossible. There’s a whole section about using Sonos as computer speakers here.

+18You will have a delay using analogue too, as
+24Can you use Airplay to a stereo pair of them?
I’d think you’d send the stereo signal to one of them (which is what I do), and let Sonos differentiate which device gets left and right, through the LAN? As long as they’re paired in Sonos, I guess. I don’t know of a way in the Apple OS to split signals…
