the standard Sonos Connect has a poor quality DAC and lots of jitter when connected to an external DAC, though mine did sound much better connected to a Parasound ZDac. The difference between Tidal HiFi and Spotify should be obvious, unless your friend has the lower quality Tidal called Premium. The Sonos settings also control whether you get full quality or MP3 quality signal, as lower quality is easier to stream...so lots of variables
Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i
Hey everyone,
I love listening to music. 95% of the source is from steaming Spotify through a Sonos Connect. From there onto a Rega Dac r > Transcendent Sound GG pre > Khartago Odyessy amp and finally Jim Holts Mini Statement speakers. My music tastes are all over the map but Jazz is at the top.
I’m thinking of making a move of some kind so I can take advantage of lossless steaming. I’m a long time user of Spotify premium service and holding out for hopes of lossless service in the near future. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cultofmac.com/470077/spotify-eyes-lossless-audio-wow-ears/amp/
I really like the user interface of Spotify and Sonos. I’d like to hear what some of you think about doing the Wyred4S mod to my Sonos as a way of listening to lossless music streams. Or switching to a Bluesound Node 2i.
Im not interested in spending more than say 500-700 bucks on a streaming device. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!
