Using a Bridge is still the best way to connect your Sonos players, and in some cases, some systems will still need the Bridge. The new software update is for new customers only – it is aimed at taking the confusion out of setup and to keep the start-up cost low. If you already have your system set up, you are hopefully enjoying the Sonos experience, and have had no problems setting up your system. Port is the successor to Connect, delivering richer sound and extending Sonos’ sound platform to your traditional home audio equipment. Port includes an updated digital-to-analog converter for clearly detailed sound and a 12V trigger, which automatically turns on your amplifier to more reliably initiate playback. Port also allows you to control content using Apple AirPlay 2 and features a versatile design compatible with a standard AV rack.
