192 kHz 24 bit Playback

I know that Sonos S2 only supports a max of 24 bit 48 kHz files but here's the question I cannot find and answer to: if I have 24 bit 192 kHz FLAC files on my NAS in my Library, will sonos play them, albeit in a downsampled format or will they be skipped altogether?

Can someone please clarify this?

Skipped. The Sonos software is unable to ‘read’ them in order to downsample them.

Definitive, maybe, but not final: I use Airplay, sending my high res Roon library (including 192/24 files) on my iPad. It downsamples my 192/24 to 44/16 and plays them on my Sonos Arc.

Right, but that’s not Sonos reading the file, it is another player that has different capabilities. Not what was asked.
