Wait... What? How? Now I'm genuinely curious. Are you in the US? I'm pretty sure you are issued a microwave at birth over here. Is it not the same elsewhere?
I'd love to try out 24-bit audio (I am in the UK) but as of the weekend, Sonos tells me its app is no longer compatible with Android 7 - the only devices I have to run the Sonos app are two Samsung Tab S2s, which can't be upgraded beyond Android 7. I have now have a £800-plus audio system I can't use; so I'd settle for 8-bit quality right now:(
I have a Windows laptop but the Sonos app for Win10 has very limited functionality ("Sonos no longer supports setting up a system on Windows or on Mac with the Sonos Controller app... To set up a system you must now use the Sonos mobile app on either Android or iOS" https://www.windowscentral.com... [windowscentral.com]).
I really don't see why I should invest in new hardware simply to continue using my existing Sonos kit.
My dad has an analog stereo tuner/amplifier connected to analog speakers. He uses it to play analog vinyl records, analog cassettes and listen to FM radio.
He'll never need an updated Android tablet to make it work.
But if you buy something complex and sophisticated like Sonos wifi enabled speakers, it's reasonable to assume you will need to make technology upgrades along the way to keep using them.
I have a pair of decade-old iPod touches. The Spotify app doesn't work on them. It's just how it is.

they would fix it so that my IKEA Sonos system did not disconnect one or more speaker form the wifi several times a day.

I do not have a microwave. So no. My neighbours perhaps. But that is hard to find out.

You don’t have a PC? Or a Mac?
I mean, Sonos supports iOS, Android, FireOS, Windows and macOS. You don’t have any relatively modern versions of any of those?

Something along the lines of MEmu or BlueStacks to emulate Android?

Super Audio CD audio is actually 1-bit digital audio.
