There seems to be some confusion out there with the need to move from S1 to S2 for Hifi streaming.
I have 2 AMPs and 1 Connect that are older and can’t be upgraded to S2.  I am using Amazon’s HD family plan and Radio Paradise’s new FLAC streaming services.  ( Previously I used Deezer Hifi and Tidal as well)

 Is there any audio advantage to move to S2 (thus new equipment) to stream these service’s in FLAC/Lossless?  It seems like S2 only helps with streaming HD music that is local?  Thanks for any feedback!

Sonos has always been capable of playing lossless 16-bit CD quality files. So that is true of S1 and S2.

S2 has some currently limited capability to play local so-called hi-res 24 bit files.

I stream local content in FLAC on S1 and it sounds great.
