I’m using Qobuz now and “I think” it sounds better when using Qobuz app then Airplay to SONOS ARC. I know it’s what you feel but which way is better…SONOS APP TO QOBUZ OR QOBUZ VIA AIRPLAY?

Up to 24-bit/48 kHz Hi-Res audio is supported through Qobuz on the Sonos app. AirPlay is currently limited to 16-bit/48 kHz according to Qobuz:

Although some other sources say AirPlay is capable of 24-bit/44.1 kHz.


I would say playing Qobuz directly from the Sonos app is probably going to produce better quality audio, but most people won’t hear any difference.
