I just noticed that Tidal displays “MASTER” now on MQA tracks where before it would kick down to “HIFI” - has SONAS started supporting MQA?
my understanding before was that even if you were playing the master quality music, it would downgrade to hifi and this was reflected in the display. What changed? Audio Quality or just the display?
i have two gen 2 Play 5s with the sub in my office. I enjoy the sound 😁
Thank you for any input!!!

The most important question for me would be: have you noticed any difference in the quality of the sound?

Given the widely known characteristics of the MQA format I await the answer with baited breath...
If i read the statements in the posts above, it sounds like Sonos S2 playing off a locally stored FLAC file can play 24bit/48kHz, but playing from a streaming service like Qobuz or Tidal, it is limited to 16bit/44kHz??? And no MQA period.
I tried to play a flac file in 44/24 on a connect with S2 to an external DAC, but only got 44/16. However, it has been a while since I tested this.
