Is my Sonos 1 Connect the weak link?

I have Roon resident on my Synology NAS. It is wired to my Synology Wifi Router ( no way to run a wired connection, but solid wifi signals). The signal goes to my Sonos Connect which is connected to my Brysten BDA 1 Conveyor. This then goes wired to my Rogue Audio Magnum III. Speakers are Linn Magic. I have all my CD collection on my NAS so Roon can access Internet or resident music.

I have a NAS transport for my CD collection that goesto the Bryston and it seems a bit better than streaming through Sonos. And, of course, my Thorens turntable direct to the Rouge is killer. 

How do I improve streaming?

With all due respect, Sonos is anathema and a performance graveyard.

So can you elaborate? No suggestions other that anathema?

My first digital player was a Sonos Connect. They are very poor streamers in terms of sound quality,I think primarily due to jitter that smears the sound. Almost anything will sound better. Do some research on standalone streamers, there are lots of options.
