Update SMB on Sonos

Does anyone have any idea why Sonos won’t update SMB?  It is literally 15 years out of date.  If you want to use local media files, are there any other options?

If you can’t access your flac files with the Connect device, you’re not doing any A/B comparisons.  That’s the whole point of this thread, the Sonos Connect doesn’t work with any modern network devices.   SMB1 is very insecure, there is no excuse for using a network protocol that is literally 15 years out of date.
