How does it all work, digital to analoge.

K

Good day all,

My set up is Apple Music running through the Sonos App on my iPhone to a Sonos Arc (HDMI connection to my TV and wired broadband connection to my router ) with 2 x Sonos one’s SL set up as surrounds ( music playback on full setting ). 
I am enjoying the quality of Apple Music spatial audio!
I read somewhere that the Sonos app pulls digital music files direct from Apples server. 
Where does the digital to analogue conversion take place? 
Does the Sonos ARC and One SLs have a built in DACs ?

Thank you.

Karl

Every Sonos speaker has a DAC, yes. It is rather necessary.

Thank you for the reply contolav. I can’t seem to find anything re the specification on the DACs inside Sonos ARC and SL ones.

SONOS does not publish internal part numbers. Since inception, internal processing has been 24 bit.
