It‘s UHD and shown with a logo, but limited to 24bit 48kHz. 
24bit to 16bit is the important difference between Amazon HD and UHD. 
And not all Sonos Speakers support UHD, just the newer models.

See topic title!!  Thank you.

 

No.  Sonos is limited to 24 bit 48 kHz.  Ultra HD is 24 bit 192 kHz (and is pure unadulterated snake oil - see this link https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html).

        Right.  I should have specified that it was downrezzed Ultra, not that it can’t play Ultra.  Thanks for clarifying (and it’s still snake oil).
