A recent DAC upgrade from a Schiit Modi Multibit to the Mojo Mystique v3 is having me consider an upgrade to my digital source.
I currently use a W4S modded Sonos Connect, streaming Deezer HIFI (16bit FLAC). I'm committed to Deezer and pretty invested in Sonos - with Connects in two systems and a few Sonos speakers. I'm not keen on the idea of adding a dedicated music server/player. (keep it simple. Roon doesn't support Deezer fully anyways, I don't have stored music files)
With the constraints above considered, it seems my choices are limited. Here's what I'm considering:
- Bluesound Node 2i
- Simaudio Moon Mind2
- Add SynchroMesh to Sonos Connect
I wonder if Node 2i would have better SQ than W4S Connect.
Moon Mind2 looks compelling - but zero reviews about it.
Would Syncromesh SQ improvements be beyond a modded connect?
For options 1&2, I'd keep the Connect in the system for multi-room play as background music, parties, etc.
I know I should just demo all three, and will probably do so. Was wondering if anyone has been in this situation or has recommendations. Opinions welcome. I wish the microrendu had deezer support...
