Yes it would. Depending on the Sonos device (just about everything except Play 1s) that is playable on S2. If it fits you would hear 48/24. However, the organization that officially designates hi-res states it has to be 96/24 for it to be officially labeled that way. The Qobuz file is 96/24 but Sonos can only manage 48/24.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I have the ability to stream from the Qobuz desktop / mobile app as well as the Sonos app so the 24/48 can still be achieved that way. 

 

Does anyone know if it has to be through the S2 app or can I still get the 24/48 streaming to the amp through the Qobuz app?

 

I guess I really need to find out if Airplay 2 will be streaming from Qobuz to the Amp at 24/48

If you mean via the PC then no. As noted, it would be converted to analog in the PC then redigitised at 16/44 by the Amp. You’d need to use the Sonos S2 app to get 24 bit.

I don’t believe Qobuz offers a ‘direct casting to Sonos’ option in their mobile app.

 

Yeah it looks like they only cast via Airplay. Would really need something similar to Spotify or Tidal connect.
