SONOS CONNECT

I was running the Sonos with a digital rca to a Monarchy audio DIP (reclocker) then out using a digital XLR to a MSB Nelson DAC upsampling to 24/96. Just FYI. It sounded OK. A lot better than the Sonos internal dac.

I'd love songs to go higher res but last I checked their response in some forums was no.mmmaybe they will wake up as some new competition sets traction

On a positive note the songs system set up and software is imho the gold standard. East to use and never crashes.

High resolution audio for SONOS

I do not have SONOS and I know little about Deezer Elite.
I use Tidal, computer USB to DAC, RCA to Processor or
Computer USB to DAC to good headphones
This is simply a passed on FYI I sent to a friend with a new SONOS system I do not know where I "clipped it" from

Owners of a Sonos system can subscribe to Deezer Elite for $14.99 per month. This membership offers high-resolution audio, allowing you to listen to music at five times the bitrate, 1,411 kbps versus 320 kbps. This higher music quality is only available on a Sonos system, and not on other platforms where Deezer is available.

"allowing you to listen to music at five times the bitrate, 1,411 kbps versus 320 kbps."

This is NOT hi-res, (the music streaming industry calls this high quality) This is CD quality. CD's are recorded at 16 bit, 44.1 khz which is 1411kbps. There seems to be confusion because of this misinformation probably from items like this from Deezer.

To be TRUE hi-res, it needs to be 20 bit, 48khz or higher as proposed by the new Digital Electronics Group.
