Where u want me to stop?
Sonos: Old type D/A converter maxing out at 16bit (!), 48khz. Volume control is 16bit too, meaning you reduce the bits the lower the volume is. This means a lot with powerful active speakers, as you're seldomly powering them even to half their capability.
BS5: New type D/A converter, 24bit, and can at least run up to 96kHz. Volume control is 24bit (the 16bit files are padded), meaning you will not take a loss when listening at low volumes.
No, for those same reasons, even my lowly Squeezeboxes are superior to Sonos' solution. Even if Sonos is a tad more user friendly when it comes to integration.
I don't like the BS5/BM5 combo, but I'd take that any day over the offering from sonos.
and can at least run up to 96kHz
it runs up to 192kHz
and can at least run up to 96kHzit runs up to 192kHz
Thanks, I was at bit in doubt. I knew it ran at least 96khz, but I wasn't sure it would take 192kHz. It makes the difference even worse (or better, depending on your view).
