Sonos Port vs Sonos Connect


Recommended Posts

I read somewhere today that the new Sonos OS, which will only be supported by the newer Sonos devices, will have support for hi-res audio > 16/44.  I’m please to hear that, and I plan to trade up my Sonos connect for the new Sonos Port once that is available.

Best Stereo System: Wired Sonos Connect -> AQ Cinammon Digital Coax -> Marantz SA-8005 -> AA Black Momba 2 interconnects -> Marantz PM-15S2 -> Kimber 8TC speaker Cables -> Zu Soul Superfly speakers.

 

Ingest> NAS> Distribution: Sony Vaio Laptop ripping via ITunes to Apple Lossless, manually synced to WD Mycloud NAS, Linksys 1900AC Router, Netgear Gig E switch, generic Ethernet cables, TPLinc ethernet power line extenders.

I'd wait on the detail if I were you - don't forget lossy MQA can also be "hi-res audio > 16/44" & I wouldn't put it passed Sonos being tempted by MQA's lossy compression or something similar considering their previous concerns about wireless network bandwidth.


for me, I only use wired networks in for audio distribution, but your poiny is well taken.
