    Your question required several answers, which I found (again) in a quick scan of the thread. I don’t see why it should be necessary to repeat them.

    Then please don’t and move on.  Your response doesn’t help at all.

    Anyone that doesn’t mind answering is more than welcome to and I would be grateful for it.

    Especially helpful to those of us just joining the conversation, have a short attention span and don’t want to have to wade through several pages for an answer that could simply be posted here in a few sentences.

    How do you know if its HD. No display on the sonos app.

    Until I see a trusted source doing true blind testing of various formats and reporting that HD is better I’m going with the science on this and calling HD audio snake-oil.

    No reason not to spend your money on it if it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling but that is a lot of money to part with for a feeling.

    My audio card runs at 48 bit 192khz. Through near field monitors. HD files of that quality are limited. Mostly classical recordings. You can tell its HD and the difference is like night and day.

    I've just returned the Sonos move to Amazon. Amazon and Sonos have confirmed that it does not stream Amazon HD music.

    I've just returned the Sonos move to Amazon. Amazon and Sonos have confirmed that it does not stream Amazon HD music.

     

    Which is 100% false.  It streams Amazon Music HD (aka CD quality) just fine.  It does not stream Amazon Music Ultra HD (aka snake oil nonsense).

      Well you had better tell Sonos and Amazon.

       

      Here's the reply from Sonos and Amazon confirmed this. So dont know where you are getting your info from. 

       

      Hi there, thanks for your feedback. At this time we support Amazon Music, but not Amazon HD. We can certainly take this as a feature request and ensure it is forwarded to the appropriate department.
