taking delivery of a PAD Digital adpator in the next couple of days. i am trying to elevate the performance of a Sonos zp90 player in order to use it in my 2 channel system.The Sonos player has incredible functionality and a short session with it allows you to listen to virtually any music out there, but sound quality is average.
So far have done the Underwood hifi mod which is awesome, replaced stock power cord with a Shunyata black mamba power cord that contains the FESI material via a Voodoo C7 iec to C14 2pin adpator, and instead of using it wirelessly i attached a high end Audioquest ethernet cable. Each of these tweaks has improved sound performance that I can easily objectively measure and subjectively recognize via the level of my musical involvement and enjoyment. Now in the final stages of experimenting with digital interconnects to my Audio Aero Prestige SACD player which will do the D/A conversion. Digital cables in rotation currently are Nirvana and Purist Audio Aqueous which is how I came across this neat little device from PAD. Will have an answer for you in the next week or so.
