I used the modded Sonos Connect with a TG audio silver power cord and Wywires digital silver coax cable and the TG audio was plugged into a PS audio powerplant. I even put a lead weight on the sonos as it is very light. I have to say it sounded very good and I agree with the previous comment that a better streamer such as my metrum ambre streamer via I2s is just a bit better on more complex music but the sonos does sound very good. My brother in law has a bluesound node 2i and we compared the modifed sonos coax with the blusound coax output and in my metrum dac the sonos was clearly better sounding. I plan on using my connect in another system and as a backup to the metrum ambre.
But I agree at this point the modified connect cannot do high resolution and there are other newer options available. But if cd resolution is all you are interested in, the modification does improve the sound a lot.
