24bit on Sonos Amp?

Hi, I recently bought a Amp and I’m enjoying it. 
 

I’m running a dedicated Roon Server from my PC and using the Sonos Amp as one of my endpoints.

I’m aware that it downsamples HiRes 24bit files to 16bit when playing via Sonos.

My Question:  Are there any technical barriers to providing 24bit streaming to the Sonos Amp?
 

Or is it more a matter of your user community not having the bandwidth to provide an enjoyable user experience?
 

I stream 24bit bit to other non-Sonos hardware in my home without issue. But I also have gigabit Ethernet, so that may be an issue for a large swath of the Sonos community.

I like the Sonos Amp, but would love it even more if could take advantage of 24bit audio.

Index the files into the music library and stream them directly using the Sonos controller. Sonos supports 24bit on local FLAC and ALAC content.
