Qobuz streaming on Sonos in 24-bit Hi-Res is available from today. The results: The sound of all 3 streames is much better using my external DAC compared to the internal ones. Add a LAN IN rule to Block Sonos Products have a history of quite a longevity before. We’re excited to see support for 24-bit streaming on Sonos, but we feel that folks are being slightly vague on the details. The last days I did many test with my old Sonos Connect, a new Sonnos Port and a bluenote Node i2. This new integration builds on Qobuz’s continued expansion of hardware partnerships, including the addition of Hi-Res compatible hardware on the Android platform several years ago.” ![]() And now, it is continuing to expand access to “higher-resolution streaming on Sonos by introducing 24-bit streaming, compatible with most products on the Sonos S2 platform, which supports up to 48 kHz/24-bit audio resolution. In 2013, Qobuz became the first music service to offer 16-bit FLAC streaming on Sonos. The Sonos S2 operating system enabled users to play 24-bit FLAC files from their local drives when it launched in late 2020, but this is the first time users have been able to stream in hi-res. “Qobuz has been at the forefront of high resolution music streaming, and we look forward to customers enjoying their music with the clarity, depth, and room-filling sound of Sonos.” Now, on Sonos devices, we’re making it easy for millions more people to experience the improvement Hi-Res audio can make.” “Our open platform enables partners to bring the best of their experiences to the Sonos system and our mutual customers,” said Ryan Richards, Director of Product Marketing at Sonos. Qobuz USA Managing Director Dan Mackta said of the partnership, “Qobuz has always strived to make the highest quality audio accessible, as people become more interested in better sound. It states, “Tracks with a sampling rate above 48 kHz will be delivered to your Sonos hardware as 16-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC (CD lossless quality).” If the Sonos S2 platform is limited to 24-bit/48kHz - does that mean it’s all going to be downsampled to that or will Qobuz offer everything in 16-bit/44.1kHz CD quality? According to the Sonos Support website, that seems to be case. And we know we’re not the only people who are going to notice.Ģ4-bit/48kHz certainly qualifies as hi-res streaming but what about all of the content on Qobuz that is 24-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/192kHz? Spotify HiFi launches soon but that’s only adding lossless (and not hi-res) albums to what is available on their platform.īefore Sonos and Qobuz users get too excited, there’s a catch. Qobuz does offer the largest library of hi-res albums, but it still only represents 5% of the music available online from them and Tidal. ![]()
