How do the two match up seeing as they are in the same price category?

Beosound Core or Sonos connect amp?
20 replies
The Sonos is "limited" to CD quality (at least, that's what I understood...)
No Chromecast support --> no possibilities to join a B&O product
No Powerlink sockets
Not controlled by a B&O remote...
The Sonos has an amp built-in (for connectin passive speakers), the Core needs active speakers/BeoLabs.
Apart from that those are two different multiroom concept - so it depends on what you need it for.
As for ‘sound quality’: that would be hard to compare....too many variables - and specs definitely does not tell the whole story.

Hi CB 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️What remote can you control it with ? BR1 ?The Sonos is "limited" to CD quality (at least, that's what I understood...) No Chromecast support --> no possibilities to join a B&O product No Powerlink sockets Not controlled by a B&O remote...
Beosound essence remote. BeoRemote one is not yet implement to core sw update.
To throw another option into the mix, I use a NAIM 272 streamer connected directly to my speakers (the NAIM streamer has a pre-amp out with excellent analog volume control). YMMV but to me, there is an audible quality improvement when streaming with the 272.

If You buy an Auralic Mini (price almost equal to the Core and Sonos) you will get a very good streamer with very good sound quality.

What remote can you control it with ? BR1 ?
Hi Michael,
if you speak about the Sonos, with the Sonos remote I presume 😎
NB: I don't know if you can control something not B&O with the BR1...
