Sonos + Headphones

[Nelacar]

I know it seems like I am defeating the purpose, but recently I got a Playbar and I love it. I want to buy multiple Sonos speakers. I have a turntable (Audiotechnica 60lp) that I would like to hook up to my Sonos system via CONNECT. There are times, however, that I want to listen to the turntable with headphones (Sonos systems don't have aux out jacks). The CONNECT has RCA out. If I hook up a headphone amp (such as the Schiit Vali 2), will I be able to get the Sonos system that allows for headphones as well?

my understanding is that the Sonos connection between the arc and headphone is not possible unless the tv is the one where the signal is emanating from. Makes sense as the only source a Sonos arc will take is eARC / hdmi

Given this sadly I think you may not be able to use a turn table unless you can give it an earc output.

There info on the Sonos site

Hi,
Just got my Sonos and doing the update. For me it's a headphone which is super comfortable - compared to say my Bathys which are just a bit big for travel. These are smaller, reminds me of the bose 700. But a better fit. Love the leather/leather like material.
Sorry, this is not mean to be a review.
I plan on using it in our Home Theatre where I have a sim rig setup using Sonos Arc + subs + surrounds. When the wife wants to watch her shows this will be my goto. Currently I'm using a Fiio R7 and either a Stella or 109 Pro or the Audeze Maxwell or Alienware Tri something.
I hope that I will be Able to sent the audio directly.

On the Sonos page it says:

TV Audio Swap​

Instantly swap TV audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar to your Sonos Ace and feel enveloped in exhilarating surround sound and spatial audio.

Use the Sonos app to set up the connection between your Sonos Ace and a compatible soundbar. Make sure your products are up to date and WiFi is enabled before using TV Audio Swap.

I am sending the audio out of my computer using an HDMI port with a HD Fury Arcana 2 to extract the eARC signal and send that to the ARC and the HDMI elsewhere.

I'm happy to answer any questions.


LISTENING for 5 min.
Just thought I'd chime in saying that the sound is gonna be great for my car engine in Assetto Corsa. Listening to Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa it is not (for me).
