No MQA but will do 96 kHz. Upgrade is down to $469.

I'm guessing that it's up-sampling to 96kHz with a new S/PDIF board. Not a bad thing but he isn't messing with SONOS software just the S/PDIF output and not even touching the TOSLING output.
But yes, the stock SONOS Connect is a bad sounding box, not even close to my Raspberry Pi/HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro combo and it fact is not even listenable after hearing a laptop computer with USB input to the same DAC.
Right now, on Redbook CD quality streaming the Raspberry Pi with a not-too-great PS is close in not equal to my Macbook Air/Regen USB to the same DAC.
With a better PS like the $400 LPS-1, I'm guessing the Pi would beat the computer as a source.
Next up?
uRendu!
Surely you jest! It's time for the...
UltraRendu !
You get to spend more money that way!
I did get to hear my Raspberry Pi powered by an LPS-1 set to 5V the other day. It's a step up from both the Jameco and the iPower wart.
Guessing that the Raspberry Pi/HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro with the LPS-1 might beat that uRendu powered with a cheapo switching supply, but don't know for sure.
Next step, uRendu.
Step after that, LPS-1.
Why?
AUDIOPHILE!
Looks like a number of folks want to upgrade to the UltraRendu so you'll find some perfectly good used uRendu's on sale at Audiogon. Search on "microRendu".
Comes with in-home installation and tech support! :-)
