I agree with Phillipe on this one. If you pulled the wi-fi card and it is still rebooting, then it is likely the mainboard. The output couplers are the typical cap failure point on these. And that would not cause this problem. If you want to take a blind stab without deeper circuit testing,

No flames intended. I don’t consider 24-bit audio that much of an audiophile talking point in 2018, especially when a $200 Chromecast speaker can now pull it off. Anyone building any reasonable audio system today should expect 24-bit playback capability. It’s now mainstream. And it sounds

24-bit audio. Unless Sonos has had a major philosophical change recently, the last I checked they refused to support 24 bit-audio. And their stated corporate rationale for refusing to do so was as insulting as it was nonsensical: That 24-bit audio "doesn't sound any better than 16-bit".

I'm a die-hard Squeezebox fan, but with Sonos PLAY:1 going for as little as $135 right now, it would be hard to recommend anything else. Buy a few for the key rooms and add on as you can afford. If you want higher fidelity, get a Play:5. If you want to plug it into an existing receiver/HTIB,
