Help with sonos connect

A new DAC is not the way to improve Sonos. A reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh in between the Sonos and the DAC is the ticket:

If you add the Dynamo power supply and the BNC-BNC cable, you will have a reference digital source.

Thanks for advice. Is this similar to the sonos mod people reference on the forum? Believe wyred4sound offers a similar reclocking application?

Sorry, not technically savvy. Would appreciate understanding differences.

Now if I added a reclocker and upgraded my DAC, could I tell much of a difference than if I added reclocker and kept existing DAC?

Thanks.

Kernalsanders, I have had a sonos connect for about a year now. I tried a Arcam, Peachtree and Rega Dac and decided on the the Rega. I found it to be the biggest improvement of the three. I started using a Audioquest VSD-1 digital cable, because it was what I had at the time. I never noticed any issues, but as we audio-folk are always wanting to try something new, I recently purchased a Kimber AGDL and feel it has helped reduce some brightness I would experience from time to time. If you will research a thread I started, you will notice one great similarity between your and my responses. My suggestion is try a few different Dacs and also I would check you internet connection. I will point out I have mine on a wired connection not wired. But I have never heard any jitter.

Theo - you have definitely heard jitter. You just don't know what it sounds like until its eliminated. All of the industry experts agree that jitter is the #1 problem with digital.

Trying to fix jitter by changing DACs is like trying to fix a flat tire by moving people to different seats in the car. Its a waste of time and money and will never get you there.
