  streaming 16/44.1 from TIDAL or the like?
  
  I have a stock SONOS Connect sitting by my easy chair with a Gigabit Ethernet jack nearby. Right now there is little comparison, my MacBook Air beats the SONOS Connect so badly streaming QOBUZ (on good recordings) that I haven't used the Connect in weeks even though it is more convenient as it frees the USB cord from my laptop.
  
  How is the Raspberry Pi thingy in comparison?
  
  I used to drink a lot of Gallo hearty burgundy back in the day but I'm guessing that's a different company?

    I cancelled Tidal a few months ago, no need for two lossless services @ $40 a month, rather I just have Deezer Elite @ 20.

    I use Deezer Elite right now + FLAC from the Raspberry Pi 3 which acts as a NAS using "Open Media Vault" which has a 2TB USB drive hooked up to it with all my CD rips.

    Most of my listening is Deezer Elite, sounds very good, I use a Audioquest Diamond toslink cable, that silica quartz has a lot to do with it on top of the Sonos Connect modifications by Wyred 4 sound (power supply for the clock, digital stages, etc) + the Auralic is world class and upsamples processing to DXD for everything that goes through it.

    Gallo is wine, I prefer coors light myself. To each his own, I wouldn't turn down a good pinot noir though :)
