wyred4sound Sonos Port - garbled noise

Hi Everybody - anyone having issues with their w4s modded Sonos Port?  Mine has started garbling/distortion at anything but the lowest volumes.  I'm guessing a recent sonos software update may have triggered it.


I've had it for a few years now, so no complaints - but wondering if anyone else is noticing the same thing, or its just my unit.

Strange - it looks to directly be related to the volume.  Below 25% the sound is fine, above that, it starts to get progressively more garbled until it is completely white noise at 100%.  I'm sure there is a digital explanation for this?  Bit dropping?

According to W4S it looks to be an update by Sonos that is causing the issue.  For those that do not yet have the issue, suggest you hold off on any automatic updates if possible.  W4S looking into a solution.

I just fired up my old W4S ZP90 Roon endpoint and it still working.

 

I talked to W4S and they said they still do the mods on the old ZP90s.  YOu can pick those things up used for nearly nothing on used market.  Make great Roon endpoints especially with the W4S mod.  Only knock is the unecessary DSP as Roon downsamples the stream cause it thinks thats what the ZP wants then ZP takes it back up to 96 if thats the mod you have.
