Any plans to support 96000Hz flac?

Sonos doesn’t share their roadmap. The only way you’ll find out is when they release it...or slightly earlier by joining their beta program, at which point I’d think there would be an NDA.

It has been a request for a long time, though, so I’d feel comfortable in saying it’s on their list. How high a priority, or even if it is technically feasible given the software and hardware currently in Sonos systems, I would have no idea.

Perhaps me asking is also a bit showing to Sonos as a reminder there is interest in it (al through my entire collection at that rate would cause my NAS to fill before I hit the ‘B’ of my collection :p).

I always did wonder about their beta program and if it was an idea to join that. Or if you may experience more problem if you do that. Anybody here have experience with that?

I’d assume that if they did have experience with it, the NDA would preclude discussion of it. Certainly all of the gaming oriented betas I have run have included such a clause. 

Please! I cannot fathom why Sonos does not introduce the higher res ability in the here and now!

Smart tech companies are not sitting on their hands and waiting around,to grab a piece of the market.A market which is growing quickly….and...people want the best sound that they can get.

This is 2020…..I mean,Sonos does happen to market the Play 5,in their videos,as pushing the envelope and the best they have to offer,as well as being state of the art….The drivers are certainly capable of reproducing a higher caliber of sound….and...Sonos sits on their hands with offering higher quality sound?

Additionally,Sonos stock could use all the help it can get!

I have 2 Play 5’s and the Sub…..I’m not unhappy at all with the sound,but if I am not going to ultimately move to a B&W,or Devialet,I’d like to see Sonos give folks like me the damn high res already!

Sorry for my rant,but c’mon already,the S-2 App was quite underwhelming sonically!

Science and scientific blind testing does not support the Hi Res claims for better audible sound quality; downsampled Hi Res from the same master sounds identical at the same sound levels from the same speakers in the same location.

Be prepared therefore to be underwhelmed whenever Sonos does make Hi Res available. Or, even better, don’t lose sleep over any imaginary lack in Sonos because Hi Res is missing.

Well,I beg to disagree!

Don’t beg, a robust blind listening test will serve you much better by letting your ears decide.

Did that quite some time ago. Keep deluding yourself.

Lol. Yes. And the fossil record was also created in  seven days.

I don’t mean about the content, but more if people who join it think its a good or bad idea for others to join based on their experiance.

gaming betas? Sound for games or uhm.. I hope not actual games :)
