Help with sonos connect


Hearing a good amount jitter coming through sonos connect, which is running though a 1st generation dac-it, by peachtree audio. Visited my local shop today, they stated the new dac-it x would improve sound due to asynchronous chip or set up or modification of sorts?

Curious what other dacs could improve sonos? Does the Wyred4sound mod eliminate the need for an external dac, or does it just clean up the signal that is being sent to dac?

And if there is a better dac out there to receive the clearer signal for sonos listening, I'm all ears.

Don't know a lot about this stuff, but trying to learn. New world for me.

Kernalsanders, I have had a sonos connect for about a year now. I tried a Arcam, Peachtree and Rega Dac and decided on the the Rega. I found it to be the biggest improvement of the three. I started using a Audioquest VSD-1 digital cable, because it was what I had at the time. I never noticed any issues, but as we audio-folk are always wanting to try something new, I recently purchased a Kimber AGDL and feel it has helped reduce some brightness I would experience from time to time. If you will research a thread I started, you will notice one great similarity between your and my responses. My suggestion is try a few different Dacs and also I would check you internet connection. I will point out I have mine on a wired connection not wired. But I have never heard any jitter.
