I am hoping a sonos support can explain this officially. When I stream from Spotify, does the song first come down to one player and then if I group, Does the song go out from the one player to the other players in the group. If I have a group does it do the same? Does Tidal hi res also work that way on Sonos?

Yes. In any group the first room contains the ‘Group Coordinator’ (GC). This is the node which fetches the stream. The other grouped nodes receive their stream from the GC.

The same is true in a stereo pair, or a bond with a Sub. These are special types of group.

 

BTW Sonos supports Tidal at 16/44, i.e. CD quality, and not at what the industry might perhaps call “hi res”.
