Stream Smarter: How A2D2 Analog to Digital Converter Works with SONOS, Alexa, and More

This is what listening to  music in the future looks like – analog style yet digital comfort! If you love the sound of real  vinyl or the fun of cassettes but also want the ease of use that comes with smart  speakers, then  A2D2 Stream is for you. It is one of the best analog to digital streaming devices in the market. This guide will show you how to integrate  A2D2 Stream with different smart speaker systems, such as SONOS, Alexa, and others  for the best of both worlds.

What is A2D2 Stream?

First, let’s define  what this device is. A2D2 Stream is not your everyday analog-to-digital converter. Unlike  other converters, which digitize your music from analog sources, A2D2 is an analog to digital streaming device that preserves analog  sound and lets you stream analog sound on your digital speakers. It means you can bring your vinyl or  cassettes and listen to the real, rich analog sound of your music on smart speakers in real time. It supports 96 kHz sample rate and 24-bit depth, delivering studio-quality streaming for analog sources. 

This is how A2D2 connects to smart speakers:
So,  how does A2D2 work with your favorite smart devices? Let’s break it down:

 1. SONOS

A2D2 Stream connects to Sonos systems wirelessly via Wi-Fi. Simply open the A2D2 Stream app and find all your Sonos speakers. 

When connected, you can play your vinyl or cassette in every room of the house by  utlitising your existing SONOS setup.  Now you can take a record from the living room  and hear it in the kitchen, in the bedroom, and even in the backyard! Find a more detailed setup guide here.

2. Alexa

While you cannot select specific vinyl tracks using Alexa, A2D2 Stream allows you to connect a turntable to Alexa-enabled devices with some additional steps.

3. AirPlay, Chromecast and Others

A2D2 Stream works with Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast.

For AirPlay or Chromecast users: Simply open the A2D2 app and select Airplay or Chromecast to find all your speakers connected on either format and press play.

Once connected you can stream analog audio to all your other AirPlay or Chromecast enabled  devices. It’s like enhancing your vintage equipment with digital power.

4. Heos and Other Systems
 Heos users, we haven’t forgotten you! A2D2 Stream also works with  Heos-enabled Denon and Marantz systems to offer the same multi room listening experience without compromising on the  analog experience.

A2D2 not only works with Sonos, AirPlay, Heos, and Chromecast, since March 2025, it has also begun to support Bluetooth streaming. 

Why Should You Use A2D2 With Smart Speakers?
You might be thinking,  “Why not just use digital music?” Here’s why A2D2 is a game changer:
