I have found my node2i very stable. Also using an Ethernet cable to an Apple airport express. Compared to Oppo default streamer it is much more stable and a better overall interface (don’t know anything about Sonos). I did not do extensive sound quality comparisons because...
...The node DEFINITELY benefits from a good external DAC. The analog out on the node is not of the highest quality and would be a weak link in an otherwise medium to good quality system. I assume people with MEGA systems are not considering the node in their chain.
