IT is easy to setup but does have the limitation you mention above. It seems Sonos is not catering to the Audiophile folks. People having been requesting on their forum about hi-res and >65K tracks for many years but yet the Connect does not get updated. For me it works fine so I am happy but I can see why heavy users such as yourself need to look elsewhere. I wonder if Bluesound will become a good alternative at some point?
