No, I am listening to Rhapsody and Pandora which are compressed streams. Pandora is 128k mp3 and I think Rhapsody is 192 AAC. When I listen to the WAV file I ripped on my computer as a test, there is no MP3 involved. The MP3 is between the music service (Pandora for example) and the Sonos.
Follow Ups:
Spotify premium is 320kbps Ogg Vorbis while TIDAL premium is hopefully Lossless FLAC.
What happens between the SONOS Bridge and the SONOS speakers or CONNECT I can only guess.
My Connect doesn't need the bridge, it connects directly to my wireless router. And its digital output goes into a Behringer SRC2496, which feeds a DEQ2496 (contains the DAC) where it is finally converted to analog and sent to the preamp. A convoluted path, but it allows room EQ in the digital domain. All my sources (Streamer/CD/SACD/phono) get the same EQ applied by the DEQ2496 to remove room resonances (it's a small room).
if I added the Connect.No need for competition with everything else in the house that's on WiFi.
