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.
They could, but should they? Sounds like they should stop buying equipment that can only be configured from mobile devices.
e.g.: My partner bought a "Wi-Fi enabled" embroidery machine recently that turned out to be a mobile-only embroidery machine. You can only send stitch files to it from an Android or iOS device - there's no software on Windows/mac/Linux to do the same, even though that's where you actually need to edit your designs. So you have to create/edit files on PC, somehow get them onto a mobile d
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.
I would be happy if ... (Score:1)
they would fix it so that my IKEA Sonos system did not disconnect one or more speaker form the wifi several times a day.

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?
