It sounds like I'm good then with an Airport Express since I don't have any music files above 16/44.1. After further investigation, it might be jitter that is causing the signal to constantly drop out due to the DAC not locking onto the signal. Before upgrading to a new Airport Express, I think I'll try inserting a Remedy into the system and see if that fixes things. Thanks for the help!

It's not jitter.

The chart on the Sonos website pertains to a signal that passes through the Sonos Connect's internal DAC. When the Sonos Connect is connected directly to an outboard DAC, thereby by-passing it's internal DAC, according to Sonos a signal up through 24/192 will pass.

What is it then? My iPad is right next to the Airport Express so its not like I have interference due to distance. I don't have any problems with my airport base station going in and out and I don't have any problems with the airport express when used for wifi. I only have problems with the airport express when it's set to be used for AirPlay. My Apple TV I use with my theater system also never cuts out when I AirPlay through it, only the Airport Express seems to cut out with AirPlay. The reason I thought it might be jitter is because I did some research on Computeraudiophile last night and it seems to be the consensus that the Airport Express suffers from a lot of jitter and therefore the DAC won't stay locked on to it. I personally don't know how all that works, I'm just relaying what I have read.

Sonos will not play a track greater than 16/44. Period. The mod up samples the signal to the dac but this does not change the fact that the maximum resolution track played is 16/44
