Sonos

I agree: an "audiophile" Sonos Connect would be a great addition to the range. They could simply get someone else to design it for them. Given that there are some very good Sonos upgrades around (e.g. Wyred4Sound and Fidelity Audio), there's obviously a (small) market for this kind of thing. They'd have to be a bit careful about the marketing, so as not to make the standard Connect look too inferior.

There's a very good sounding Dutch modification of the Sonos Connect on the market as well: http://www.magnahifi.com/index.php/en/

I do possess one and I can tell you: it's sounding great on my D250

Hi Charlemagne,
thanks for alerting us to the Magna Sonos upgrades. As I understand it, this upgrades the clock and PSU. On the face of it, it looks similar to the W4S upgrade. Good to have another option anyway.
I do think that an upgraded Sonos is capable of competing with the best streamers out there in terms of SQ. And in terms of multi-room use and GUI, Sonos is king.
