Sonos VS CD Transport


Any comments - thinking of taking the plunge to HD storage.

Although Sonos seems to be the best in terms of practicality (great lcd), they force you to use thier crappy $10.00 built in DAC - which can't be by-passed.

If I did find a digital system that allowed me to use a good external DAC, then how would it compare to my existing system ?

I have a Theta David II transport with a modded Meitner Bidat DAC.

I bought a Sonos system (both the 80 and 100) and compared(with the same Flac and WAV files) it to my Bolder Modified Squeezebox with the Ultimate powersupply into my Theta Gen VIII and the audio quality was not acceptable (Sounded good but not reference level) and I returned the Sonos System. My Theta Compli easily beat the Sonos in sound quality.

I used my TabletPC as my remote for the Squeezebox. I liked the Sonos remote except with 40,000 songs scrolling through letters alphabetically was tiring on the interface. The Squeezebox is much faster to access data in a larger collection.
