Hi

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about which Sonos speakers play lossless and also how to tell.

I have the following set up:

Play:1 and One paired in one room

Play:1 and One paired in second room

Era 100 in another room

Will any of these play lossless? If so, how do I make sure it happens or is it automatic?

I always play directly from the Sonos app with integrated Apple Music

thanks
