jamesrc Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Sonos Connect Location: Sydney Price: Now $600 with postage included Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Foolish and expensive error- see below Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD or Direct deposit Extra Info: I have owned this from new, for about 4 years. For some bizarre reason I thought I had the 44kHz version and so I bought a 96kHz one from the US this week. When I go to set it up I find the old one is also 96khz, so... the old one is now on the block. Comes with Sonos Cables and box. Working perfectly. Damn fool! The sound is beautiful and well worth an upgrade Edit: Looking at the bottom of this device with the 2011 date, I must have bought it in 2012 or 2013. So 5 or 6 years. Bullet-proof though, absolutely no issues Edit: August 13. I have obviously mispriced this, so here is a better number. Postage included in Australia. This is a great little unit and produces a real improvement in sound Q, most noticeable with the FLACS from my local storage e Pictures: Edited August 20, 2018 by jamesrc add payment method, change age price drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) I Iad a quick read of the website. It says that the dac has been upgraded. If I have a sonos connect plugged into a schiit bifrost. Would this version improve the sound through the schiit?

jamesrc Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 My understanding is that they leave the Sono DAC in place, with the expectation that you are going to use this with digital output to an external DAC. That is what I have done. I certainly feel the sound output through this is greatly improved compared to Analog straight through from the pre mod Sonos. I have used with a Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and now a Mytek Brooklyn + James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the digital outs that are upgraded as is the internal clock which is upgraded to a Femto model which you pay big bucks for in other brand streamers and DAC's. I've used 1 of these for a couple of years into my own dacs and found it to be a very big improvement over my standard Sonos Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
