What’s the point of sleep mode for Roam?

Seems like there’s zero benefit from putting Roam into sleep mode instead of turning it off. Drains battery and does not offer the convenience of remote wake up from app. Then what’s the point of the sleep mode?

Chromecast functionality

Why is Sonos lacking the Chromecast functionality, which basically every 100€ WiFi speaker has. It makes it impossible to use YouTube music ( you have to open the Sonos controller and control it from there instead of just pressing the cast button) and it makes using the Google Assistant unnecessaril...

Please create “Service” for Synology Audio Station

Dear Sonos, please work with Synology to create a “Service” to access Synology Audio Station. If SMB2 is so difficult, then surely it would be less work to add a “service” (same as there is for Apple Music and Spotify) that can access local Synology Audio Station. Thank you.

Sonos passthrough and Qobuz

I have a Sonos “Port” set to pass through mode which is connected to my hifi (Peachtree Nova 300) so that I get “hi res”. The latest change announced which says that Sonos handles Qobuz 24/48 is interesting but it’s not very clear how it “works”. For instance, does it mean that I can turn of the pas...

DTS-X Support with S2 Platform

Sonos likes to hear what people want, so I’m asking the question (Yet again?). When will Sonos finally support DTS decoding for the soundbars?
