SMB1 - Need Official Response from SONOS

I have been trying to get an official response from SONOS on their continued use of SMB1 which will be removed from various vendors products. I have been using SONOS since it was introduced with various SYNOLOGY NAS and Windows based computers to store my ripped music. When SYNOLOGY releases DSM V7 they have indicated that SMB1 will be removed and Microsoft Windows has deprecated the protocol.

I will NOT purchase another SONOS product until they provide an official answer on their plans to continue to support streaming music from a NAS that does NOT require the SMB1 protocol.

The only statements I can find from Sonos on NAS usage are here, and pretty clear on the SMB requirement: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/78?language=en_US

Not buying a new Sonos is not really the issue. Lots of vulnerable people already have Sonos equipment talking to servers and NAS boxes. So when will Sonos support SMB2 so we can turn SMB1 off. It has flaws, the last bitcoin hack exploited SMB1 to spread. We need to turn off SMB1 and move on to SMB2. When will the Sonos app support SMB2 ?

This has been discussed so many times.

Nobody knows when or even if.

See previous discussions on SMBv1 for why it is not easy to do.

If you are concerned you can use any of the work-arounds like the NAS to SMBv1 Gateway to keep SMBv1 security flaws from becoming a problem.
