Hi-Res files (AIFF) to Sonos Port or Amp

Hi I have 800TB of AIFF hi-res song files on a 1.5gb microSD for my JM21 DAP portable player. 

I have a Sonos Amp in wiring closet driving my outdoor speakers, and a Sonos PORT being driven by my turntable. Both port/amp connected via Ethernet to home network 

Would love to serve up the AIFF files via AMP or Port in highest quality possible, and take advantage of AMP or Port's DAC. 

What would be best setup for this, the 800tb of files can live anywhere I'm not tied to MicroSD Also open to Raspberry PI setup for NAS if needed 

Lastly would love to control library via Sonos app, sounds like I can via SMB share, just isn't clear to me if this would run through DAC on AMP or PORT before going to rest of Sonos speakers .. also assume NAS connects directly into back of Port or AMP in 2nd Ethernet port?

You have 800TB of files on a 1.5 GB SD Card?  That’s quite the trick.  😉

Anyway, Sonos cannot play over 24 Bit/48 kHz files.  If you have anything over 48 kHz, you will have to resample.  After that, you can add them as a local library from a number of locations:

Damn. I was, at least temporarily, impressed. Hellacious compression algorithms. 

On another note, where did you find a 1.5TB SD card?
