a few important facts on the sonos connect that may help you... i climbed the full learning curve on this some time ago
the cutoff date is 2015 - where 2015 and newer connects will be s2 software compatible, 2014 and older not - year and month of manufacture are the 1st 4 digits of the serial number underneath the units on the bottom plate
sonos has not implemented any higher res streaming than current 44.1khz as yet on s2 platform -- but that may be coming, or so it is rumored
in its current form, wyred 4 sound has a mod for the sonos connect streamer where the digital section is upgraded by ej sarmento at w4s and the digital bitstream of the modded unit is 96khz, which in effect gives you the first (and most important) tidal mqa unfolding, if you care about that, some folks do
also, instead of modding the connect (for $499 i believe, which is alot for a $300 streamer), w4s can also sell you a box (a remedy reclocker, for $299 i believe) which does the same thing outside of the sonos unit, connected with spdif cabling...
i have no affiliation with w4s, just a happy customer...
