Sonos Connect Modified - Scubadon - 07-Sep-2016 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. https://wyred4sound.com/products/upgrades-and-mods/sonos-connect-modified RE: Sonos Connect Modified - angenet - 07-Sep-2016 (07-Sep-2016, 22:00)Scubadon Wrote: I just sold my Auralic Altair.

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... RE: Sonos Connect Modified - Nl88 - 08-Sep-2016 Try looking into Denon Heos for hi-res audio. I was told it plays hi-res RE: Sonos Connect Modified - Charlemagne - 08-Sep-2016 Magna Hifi in the Netherlands modifies the Sonos Connect as well. With an excellent result, I can tell you from my own personal experience. http://www.magnahifi.com/en/webshop/product/mod-son-ultimo It's possible to modify an existing Sonos Connect or to buy an already modified new one. RE: Sonos Connect Modified - Olivier4444 - 08-Sep-2016 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 ?

According to the review, the modified Sonos Connect upsamplese to 24/196. RE: Sonos Connect Modified - stevec - 13-Sep-2016 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. RE: Sonos Connect Modified - Scubadon - 22-Sep-2016 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... |
