From macOS, pull down the Sound menu and choose the Sonos speaker name.On the Mac, start playing any audio, music, sound, video, or any sound.Once the Sonos speaker is setup to use with iPhone, and the speaker has a name (“Sonos”, “Office”, “Living Room”, whatever), you’re ready go to the Mac.Go through the regular Sonos setup with your iPhone (or iPad) as usual using the Sonos app.Whether you have a single Sonos or multiple Sonos setup, you can use them as your Mac speakers over wi-fi thanks to AirPlay. Once that’s done, as long as your Mac is on the same wi-fi network and supports AirPlay, it’s super simple to use the Sonos speaker(s) as your Mac speaker. You’ll need an iPhone to get this initially setup, because the Sonos requires using an iPhone (or iPad) app to get configured using Wi-Fi and AirPlay.

Or consider using a DDCs before the DAC to get best SQ possible.For example, maybe you want to use the popular Sonos One speaker or set as speakers for your Mac. As far as my experience goes, Avoid USB as much as possible in the digital audio chain. One Reason for not Going with NUC for Roon Server Jobs was the ability of Mac Mini M1 to play Apple Music Lossless to USB DAC which is quite good.įor me its working Perfectly Fine, but Since my usage scenario is different as I'll be getting a different Roon Endpoint (with I2S out) instead of Connecting M1 to the the DAC, If you are Planning to use M1 Solely as a Streamer you're better served with dedicated Streamer. I have connected via the USB C to Usb B cable as well but found the regular USB cable to be good enough. Whereas browsing the files, and Roon Server Jobs its quite fast. I have Connected it Via USB to My Terminator DAC and its sounding good, but not a major SQ advantage over older generation macbook Pro.
