This upgrade entirely replaces the mediocre Cirrius Logic CODAC and the associated high jitter clocks. The mod was designed to integrate the SONOS system into a high end audio system through an outboard Digital to Analog Coverter.

The upgrade consists of installing a new custom Wyred 4 Sound designed PCB that contains:
•High-end sample rate converter made by TI
•Low jitter clock with less than .5ps jitter
•Low noise power supply for the clock and SR
•Micro processor controller
•Input & output digital buffers

This new custom board is installed in the SONOS and directly converts the I²S into up-sampled SPDIF. This new ultra clean low jitter signal is now available through both the Coax and Optical digital outputs. The SPDIF output's sample rate can be factory configured to 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz.

The sonic benefits are quite dramatic. An entire level of low level grunge (harsh) is removed from the sound. This improves the low level detail and imaging. The bass is now much tighter and controlled inner detail and transient attack are both greatly improved. It is important to note that the modification does not allow the Sonos to play high resolution files. It does greatly improve the sonic quality of the digital outputs.

The upgraded CONNECT in our system, with streaming lossless ripped CD's over our 100Mbps network, is now a true high-end source.

Now with the CONNECT, you can enjoy the added benefits of SonosNet 2.0 which the ZP-80 did not offer. The latest wireless mesh network technology provides double the wireless range for whole-house coverage, ensuring synchronous music playback, and avoids sources of wireless interference. Which means the music gets to all the right rooms- near or far- at exactly the right time.

The modification is covered under warranty for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This is separate from and excludes any warranty provided for the Sonos component itself.

Wyred 4 Sound recommends the 96kHz mod. for best performance. Upon placing your order please note in the comment section which sample rate you would like. The Sonos diagnostics network matrix will likely show up in red due to a small decrease in signal strength after the modification. If the modified unit is to be used in an area of a known weak signal the unit may be more susceptible to drop-outs.

Price of modification plus shipping.

I will look into doing this , thanks
