Wyred4Sound Modified Sonos


All
Looking for some real world feedback from those that have had their Sonos modified by Wyred4Sound?  Any info you can provide would prove useful.  Also, if anyone has one they're looking to sell, I may be interested.
Thx

I have had a w4s Sonos (clocked @96) for years. It was worth it then. But I mean now you can get a Bluesound for $600. So that might be a better way to go. But if you are committed to the Sonos ecosystem then I think its a good option. w4s mods the new Sonos player (Port) as well but now your looking at around $1K right? Trouble with the Sono Connect and Port is the splitting the network thing if you get any of the newer stuff. And at some point the music service is going to make a change and the old connect is going to NOT work. I have Roon and it just sees the Connect as an endpoint so for $100 or so I can pick up an old Connect online and have a roon endpoint for el cheapo and dont have to worry about it becoming a brick cause Sonos had to update app to comply with the service like Qobuz Tidal etc.
Thanks for the feedback guys.  I had a Bluesound Node2i for a while but after hours and hours of comparing both (level matched) there was no discernible difference between the Sonos Connect and Node2i...so I saw no point in dropping the $550 for the Node 2i and then having to use the BlueOS in addition to Sonos.  You make a good point in that the Connects will eventually go obsolete.  @jbuhl, if you think the w4s Sonos is comparable to the Node 2i, then I guess I need to start looking elsewhere.
Thank you
Just want to offer my two cents. I have the Modded Sonos and also have an Innuos Zenith MK2. The Sonos probably gives you 75% of what the Innuos does. Where the Zenith separates itself is in the air/space around instruments, as well as the ability to deal with complex music in a better way. If there's a lot going on, the Sonos can get a little compressed sounding in comparison. Now all that said, I have found that adding a better PC makes a difference, as does a better dig coax. The Sonos still has easily one of the best interfaces around for usability, so that is something to consider too.
I used the modded Sonos Connect with a TG audio silver power cord and Wywires digital silver coax cable and the TG audio was plugged into a PS audio powerplant.  I even put a lead weight on the sonos as it is very light. I have to say it sounded very good and I agree with the previous comment that a better streamer such as my metrum ambre streamer via I2s is just a bit better on more complex music but the sonos does sound very good. My brother in law has a bluesound node 2i and we compared the modifed sonos coax with the blusound coax output and in my metrum dac the sonos was clearly better sounding.  I plan on using my connect in another system and as a backup to the metrum ambre.  
But I agree at this point the modified connect cannot do high resolution and there are other newer options available.  But if cd resolution is all you are interested in, the modification does improve the sound a lot.
