I just sold my Auralic Altair. I have been reading a lot of positive results with the Sonos Connect. I just discovered this unit and thought it may be a great addition. My golds are not here yet, back ordered. I will probably add this to get the best results from my NAS. I will post a review then.

Hi The upgrade will not allow to play hi- res files... Why not trying the cheaper option by using the raspberry pi with hifiberry board...and Moode player... Cheap, easy to configure...and excellent... I have got two and they are fabulous...

Try looking into Denon Heos for hi-res audio. I was told it plays hi-res

Magna Hifi in the Netherlands modifies the Sonos Connect as well. With an excellent result, I can tell you from my own personal experience.

What does a Sonos Connect do better than an Airport Express ? besides the iOS app. Is it more stable ? better quality audio although both do 16bit 44.1 right ?

Those MagnahifiMods to the Connect are on the coax SPDIF only and they disable the optical so it will be useless with Phantoms. The W4S mod is 24/96 only, otherwise should be fine.

In their words, Optical Tolsink output modified as good as the new coax SPDIF output.

Soooo, after a few days with streaming with Tidal, and the results with sound quality just using dialog, I think I am not going to worry about any streamer. I am not even going to worry about the NAS, or the Cd's (4,000) of them. That is how impressed with 2 golds, dialog, and tidal.
This may change in the future, but for now I am happy. My next investment will probably 3 more golds once they get the 5.5 update out for dislog. Probably take me a year anyways to save up for this. Anyway, I am very happy for now... |
