What a big deception.

Waiting forever on new software.

After installing S2 to find out it still DOES NOT not play High Resolution audio files.

Well back to Audirvana + USB + my own amp for High Res.

 

 

It plays 24/48, not what you were expecting?

It only plays them on local library files we have.

 

Which brings out the question- how do we put the high res files from streaming services into the "local music" folders, as all of them are encrypted formats, readable by only the service provider.

 

Does this basically mean we have to purchase the physical CD and rip it in flac format and move that file manually to the music folders on the phone so Sonos app can see it on local device?

 

What am I missing?

I do not stream, I have all my music files on a NAS.

In stead of streaming you just buy and download the music files. No ripping and converting. So I create my own cloud without any subscriptions or links to third parties. The new Port is a nice step forward and could compete with USB based apps like Roon, Audirvana etc.

Is it that difficult to let Sonos play local stored files up to 24/192 ??
Furthermore I do not like Sonos to direct me to streaming services.
