Kef LS50 Wireless - optimal configuration

 Hi there, 

I'm new to this forum, but I don't think this question has been answered before. 

My current set up is Sonos Connect + KEF LS50 Wireless + Kef Kube 10b. I'm using an optical cable to connect the Connect to the speakers. I stream through Spotify (Premium).

I love the set up, it's simple and works well for me. I'm wondering though, is the Sonos Connect holding back the system? Is there a straight forward upgrade that I'm missing out on or is this the best that this system can do? 

I've read that some people are adding external DACs and using the RCA inputs, that's off the table for me. 

I'd love the input and guidance.

Thank you
vipgeorges

Have you connected the speakers to your wifi and gone through the settings on the kef control app?  If not, you’ll want to do this.

Next, I’d get a subscription to Tidal and use Tidal.  I’m not familiar with sonos, but If it supports Qobuz, that would be even better as the dac in the ls50’s supports 24/192.

Pretty noticeable difference between Spotify and Tidal though...

The bluesound node 2i solves the main issue that I have with the LS50w, and that’s their horrible app...
