I doubt it will be that much better than the SONOS and everyone here who has upgraded the SONOS with the Wyred4Sound mod seems to think it worth the money.
If not for the drop-outs with Lossless FLAC, I'd be upgrading mine.
Need to solve that first.

streaming 24/96 to the garage Touch player until I tried a different approach. I added another access point and configured it as a wireless bridge located in the garage closet. That's the black pancake at top left in pic. From the player's perspective, it uses a hard wired ethernet connection. Better signal strength and eliminates need for using player's wireless transmitter.Works great!
edit: I have the server do the decompression duties so what gets sent to the players is in WAV format.

25 ft wide by 40 ft deep with one half of that as an additional floor/loft with a very high cathedral ceiling.
As such, no two components are more than 20 feet as the crow flies, from each other and with clear line of sight.
PLUS, this is also happening with the SONOS Bridge plugged into the router and the SONOS speaker no more than 15 feet away.
I really need to break down and wire the whole house for Ethernet, sorry I didn't do that when we did a 'bare studs' remodel plus added a floor 10 years ago.
I use an ethernet over powerline device to go a few rooms over, that works great as well. I use the netgear brand for that.
then I changed pre-amps and the new one picks up digital noise when I stream music through the system. :-(
That said, I don't think the problem is WiFi or SONOS NET because I've had problems with hard-wired SONOS speakers hooked directly to the router with Ethernet cable.

That sounds to me to be a fundamental problem with the Sonos device. When you get dropouts with high bandwidth, then something else is amiss.
Stuff is coming all the way from Europe! At least TIDAL and QOBUZ are.
Spotify NEVER fails, nor did BEATS when I had it, but they are only 320kbps. Laptop lags once in a while, easy to see with the QOBUZ player as the tracks load into a buffer/cache with an indicator line filling up as the track plays, much like YouTube player.
And much like YouTube, sometimes a 10 minuter track loads in 30 seconds, sometimes it barely keeps up with the track as it plays, and when the track wins the race...
I doubt that the SONOS device has much of a buffer/cache to load large tracks.
it maybe be you have poor internet service.
that's not good.
