Airplay Stereo Receiver Amplifier

I bought the receiver/amplifier 3 weeks ago and I am really glad I did.

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

I have an unfinished basement and had previously set up an NAD C338 amplifier connected to 2 KEF speakers and an SVS sub PB1000 which I would use on occasion for parties and gatherings. The set up and sounded fine at moderate volume however when I increased the volume past around 70% the sound got distorted because of lack of any type of EQ on the NAD amp except bass boost. As a result I wanted to purchase a amplifier that would support the same streaming features (if not more) but also allow Airplay 2 functionality as I slowly move into whole home audio. Based on my requirements the Sonos amp seemed like the best option so I purchased one and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the sound was even at high volumes with my existing speakers and subwoofer. The set up was extremely easy and the unit is sleek looking and doesn't occupy a lot of space. The amp has play pause and volume up and down controls on the front and a plethora of inputs on the back including HDMI. The app is fairly easy to use and I can now stream music directly using Airplay 2. The unit is hardwired to my Internet via ethernet and therefore I have a strong connection pretty much all the time you just need to make sure that your Wi-Fi has decent coverage throughout the house. The only missing feature that I would like to have seen included is the ability to control your music directly on the unit by being able to skip or repeat tracks for those moments where you may not have your phone or smart assistant close to you. It is also important to note that the subwoofer output with a non-Sonos sub will be slightly lower than what you may get with a different unit. With some tweaking via the sound and sub settings I was able to get the sub to sound pretty decent.

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

Finally turned my old garage bookshelf stereo into an airplay speaker! Ive wanted to sync my garage up without dumping crazy money into a new system. Love this super simple solution. Works just like any other airplay device.

I bought the stereo receiver for the price and Sony name

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin Soundform Connect adapter is a nice little tool to convert a non wifi, non airplay device into one that you can stream music over via your phone or other device.  I have an old receiver and amp wired to older but very high quality speakers throughout my house.  Previously I would just play the radio or CDs, which of course no one does anymore!  So I got the Belkin Airplay 2 device and now my older system is so much better!  I simply plugged the Airplay device into my receiver using the digital optical out, which is a great feature not found on many devices like this. Note...the optical cable is not included. I like the small size and quality, and have always been pleased with Belkin products, and would recommend. 

I'd been looking for a stereo receiver to incorporate with my existing sound system and this Tree Receiver fit the bill.

i bought this stereo Receiver to replace my old receiver that i gave to my son i was looking for something that used just two speakers and maybe i could connect my sub woofer to it this was the one i could afford plus sony makes good products so i bought this on and i really like it
