Connect Bluesound node 2i to Sonos speakers?

Hi, I have a Sonos 5.1 speakers set and I am pretty happy about the experience. I am looking to buy a music streamer now, because I understand this will improve the experience with digital music. Since the Bluesound node is deemed superior to the Sonos connect, I wonder what happens if I connect the Node to my speakers. Will I get the 24 bit audio quality of the Node, through its DAC, or Sonos will downgrade it? In my experience so far, I get that downgrading if I use the Sonos app directly hooked to the speakers via wireless, but I don’t if I go through an external DAC.

    I think that 24 bit consumer audio is snake oil, but that apart, it is not a good idea to mix the two makes because they will not give you interoperability, except perhaps via clunky workarounds.

    Fair enough, that works for me.
