Not sure if this has been asked before but I’m curious if I can use USB A out from a Wiim Amp to the USB C in to the Sonos Era 100s? I’d have an SVS subwoofer also hooked up to the Wiim Amp which would act as the overall brain. Inputs into the amp would be bluetooth from a peloton bike and HDMI arc from a TV. Wiim confirms USB A is an output from their amp.

The scenario I’m trying to justify is keeping the Sonos Eras while using an external subwoofer since I’m unable to use them without grouping with the Sonos Amp. Anyone tried this? If so, any audio lag between the Wiim and Eras using the usb output from the Wiim and input to the Eras?

The aux input via the USB C port (which requires an adapter) has a built in delay requiring for multiroom audio processing.  So you’re going to get audio playing in your Era 100, but it won’t be in sync with the subwoofer.

thanks for the tip on the audio delay, i can check if the audio can be delayed on the wiim side.

but what is the adapter for? its usb a from the amp to usb c to the era.

No, the only adapter which works with the Line-In on the Era 100 is analog in and is only sold by Sonos.
