We have several Sonos units around the house and as a multi room system it's really excellent. I have a Connect wired via coax to the D200 and find the sq very acceptable. There is integration with Qubuz, Tidal etc and you can stream from a NAS drive. My wife loves the Sonos 1 in the living room, particularly because you can hardly see it!
They have just launched "Trueplay" which looks like it could be a room correction system for the stand alone units - Sonos 1,3 and 5. I have not tried it yet so cannot really comment on whether it works.
There have been issues with BBC radio in recent months which I believe was more to do with TuneIn accomodating BBC changes than a problem with Sonos. However this seems to be resolved now.
The Connect is very inexpensive when compared to Auralic, Aurender and other high end streamers although probably not in the same league sq wise. Maybe I will go with one of these eventually but the Sonos is pretty good so I'm not in a great rush!
