Filter Atmos from Stereo Apple Music

I have posted this on the Apple community, but I fear they might delete the post for references to Sonos. Hopefully, someone here can help?

 

I have a bit of an over the top audio setup whereby I have a Sonos Arc, 1 x Sub Gen 3 & 2 x Era 300’s. As well as this setup I have 2 x Sonos fives for listening to music in stereo format. I can’t listen to stereo music on a surround sound set up as it sounds awful. I couldn’t even come to listen to Atmos tracks on my previous set up which included the Sonos Ones as the rears. Now that I have swapped them with the Era 300’s listening to Atmos music on this system has been transformed from night into day; it’s really good. However, listening to Stereo format on this setup is still a terrible experience, which is to be expected. 

As an Apple Music subscriber, is there a way I can easily filter Stereo from Atmos, so that I can change to the desired system depending upon format?

    Sure, but Sonos is effectively a TV set for audio streams. They play other people’s data, but you wouldn’t complain about what is on Netflix by complaining to LG, would you?

      Exactly, I’m not complaining to Sonos, it’s an Apple issue. Not even having the function to filter lossless and hi res audio is frustrating for me. Anyway, rant over.
