which output from SONOS to outboard DAC?

I'm using the PWD with my moded sonos as a stop gap as well. Not as good as using the PWT or a high end CD player, but almost as good and way more convenient. I'm hoping PS Audio takes a page out of the Sonos playbook and builds a good iPhone/iTouch app to use with the bridge. Especially if the rumors of the tablet iTouch are to be believed (think iTouch with a 12 inch screen).

I do sonos digital out to coax to Musical fidelity Trivista DAC, sounds better than my stand alone CD player.

I'm running Sonos--->Genesis Digital Lens--->AN 3.1X Signiture.

The difference of adding the Lens was a major improvement. I suspect that reclocking the Sonos internaly would be as well, but the Lens was less money than the mod, and allows me now to run several digital sources into the same DAC.

Shazam,

Seems like we are roughly in the same phase of our "audiophile journey" LOL!

Prior to getting the PWD, I was outputting the stock SONOS to a fully modded TAD pre-amp to a fully modded Cayin TA-30 (mods by Paul G of Tube Audio Design). I have about 100 hours on the PWD, and have now bypassed the TAD pre-amp and have it connected directly to the TA-30 (volume on TA-30 set full). So far, I think I kinda like the old setup better--helluva thing to say after buying a $3000 DAC! Could be that my ears grew up on tubes and this new sound is just too mmm..... crisp? I find the same to be true when patching in my CD player to the PWD. For example, drums sound overly synthesized. Not sure where I go from here. I guess I could re-introduce the TAD pre back into the mix, but that sure is a whole lotta stuff in the chain.

Mikewdc, you might try a power conditioner. A Running Springs Audio unit removed that edginess for me.
