Sonos is to support Dolby Atmos and HiRes formats later this year via Amazon Music’s Ultra HD service. This will allow listeners to hear tracks in lossless audio up to 24-bit/48kHz as well as Dolby Atmos Music on their Sonos speakers. Available at no extra cost to Amazon Music Unlimited customers, Ultra HD will be available to listen on all S2 devices, except Play:1, Play:3, Playbase and Playbar, while Dolby Atmos Music will be available to listen on Arc and Beam (Gen 2). Sonos also announced plans to add support for decoding DTS Digital Surround Sound later this year via the S2 platform on Playbar, Playbase, Amp, both generations of Beam and Arc.
