While it is possible to listen in lossless while using Apple Music via the Sonos App, AirPlay doesn’t support lossless on Sonos.

+18Apple AirPlay is capable of a sample rate of 24/48 which is the same as the sample rate limit of Sonos. What I don’t know is whether Sonos is accepting 24/48 when using AirPlay. If you can hear the difference between 44.1/16 and 24/48 you have very young ears. Sonos speakers would not be capable of demonstrating the difference even if there was one.
