Qobuz playback on Sonos patching via Roon

I’ve just been streaming an album from Qobuz for the first time via Roon and halfway through it began cutting out. I put it down to the wifi but the streamed the same album from Qobuz again but this time directly from Sonos and it played perfectly.

Is the issue maybe due to Roon having played it at a higher resolution? (I didn’t actually check whether I’d played different versions, but given I just hit play, I’m assuming I accessed the same version).

My set up is Core on a Mac, wifi connection with my streamer which is connected to the DAC via a Coax, but I’m guessing that Roon is connecting with the Sonos endpoints directly from the Mac (I’m new here, if you couldn’t tell, and doing a lot of reading whilst also posting a couple questions).

Roon recommend a wired connection not wireless.
Unfortunately Roon is considerably more bandwidth intensive than any standalone app like Qobuz or Tidal.
So there is not an apples for apples comparison there.

Can you try a wired connection at all?
