8d compatible

Hi, does anyone know if 8D music plays through Sonos speakers? If not will this potentially be part of the S2 release in June? Or is it a case that 8D only works with headphones? Thanks

    According to this article:

    https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/8d-audio-whatsapp-music-headphones-billie-eilish-a4401861.html

    this is a feature of WhatsApp, so they would need to go to the Sonos partners page and go through the process of adding their system to the Sonos ecosystem. 

    Based on what I read from that article, though, it seems like it is designed for use only with headphones, so I’m not sure there would be any benefit of playing the source through Sonos speakers.

    Ok thanks, I thought it might be headphones only, but thanks for clarifying.
