Dear Sonos could you please explain your route about high resolution music support?

 

I understand you support now on S2 and Port up to 24bit and 48khz.

What worth is it as the majority of provided ‘high res’ music formats are 24bit 96 khz?

It is none. You either can play the regular high res or not.

Your upgrade is just a lossless CD Quality (16bit 44khz) with a bit of headroom (24bit 48khz).

 

A great offer would be: The port and amp plays the original file, for example 24bit 96khz. If needed converts it to lower resolution to be played on the play one’s and five’s … .

A port / amp should always give you the possibility to play the original quality file.

Even if it won’t sound any better?

Maybe this explains Sonos’ thinking

Are your dogs so discerning in their musical tastes that you need to transmit frequencies over 24 kHz?
