Hi @Rafi
Thanks for your post.
We don’t have anything to share on this as of yet. I’m sure that if we do bring support for it, however, you’ll hear about it.
Hi,
thank you for your answer. I am waiting impatiently for some good news
Regards

Hi @Rafi
I recommend you read this article:
Ok, thanks I will read
The article is very interesting describes all aspects of the Sonos application. Ok, but I use Apple Music and I would like to be able to play in a lossless format and Dolby Atmos directly from the S2 application. I hope that this will be introduced quickly. As you know, AirPlay 2 does not support the lossless audio formats because it is Bluetooth
I have been using Sonos products for over 7 years and currently have ARC + Sub + 2xONE SL, Beam bedroom, ONE SL kitchen, ONE SL bathroom. The Sonos system is fantastic and I look forward to a quick update to support it a lossless format and Dolby Atmos directly from the S2 application.
Regards
Hi @Rafi
I asked you to read it because it tells you if you want specific content, ask the source, ie. Apple, as they are the ones who decide such things.
We have no control over what is available from each service - neither content nor playback quality.
I know By the way, I will write to Apple, but I hope that you work on this topic
@Rafi
Ah ok, I wasn’t sure if you'd noticed that bit.
I can assure you that if Apple do want their customers to be able to listen to Apple Music lossless formats on Sonos, they will approach us about it and we will work with them to bring Apple lossless to Sonos. Until they do, however, there’s literally nothing we can do towards it, beyond what we have already done (which was to add support for the format to our products, which was done a long time ago).
As for Atmos music playback, this is less likely as there’s only any point in doing this on the Arc. We don’t restrict/unrestrict what you can play according to which model of speaker is selected, and this is unlikely to change.
Thank you very much for a nice conversation. Apple Take to work 🤨
Have a nice weekend
As you know, AirPlay 2 does not support the lossless audio formats because it is Bluetooth
Wrong and wrong, I’m afraid. Airplay is a local network protocol, which sends audio losslessly (ALAC) over UDP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPlay#Protocols
Nothing to do with Bluetooth at all.
Yes, I'm sorry I have expressed myself. It's not Bluetooth you're right.
I meant that AirPlay 2 does not support the lossless sound format

Yes it does. It transcodes to ALAC, as noted in the linked wiki page.
