As my new SONOS Port won't play M4a or 24bit wav files I(I want play my Chesky hires music files), what alternatives do I have? Other brands?

I’ve tried converting them to 16bit wav files, but still won’t play on SONOS. Audacity won’t open them, but $500 laptop plays them fine with Foobar natively! Tried converting them to WAV16bit in Foobar, but they still won’t play. Only way I can get then to play is converting to mp3.

All good, it was the sample rate causing the problem. Found r8Brain that allowed me to select the correct parameters i.e. 24bit, and sample rate from 192,000 to 44,100.
