The OP hasn't responded to anything yet so I suggest that we wait until
he/she does before going any further. He/she may not have or need 24bit.

Hear, hear. I'll drink to that!

No flames intended. I dont consider 24-bit audio that much of an
audiophile talking point in 2018, especially when a $200 Chromecast
speaker can now pull it off.
Anyone building any reasonable audio system today should expect 24-bit
playback capability. Its now mainstream. And it sounds
Maybe we don't want to start an audiophile flame war and stick to the OP

Unless Sonos has had a major philosophical change recently, the last I
checked they refused to support 24 bit-audio.
And their stated corporate rationale for refusing to do so was as
insulting as it was nonsensical: That 24-bit audio "doesn't sound any
better than 16-bit".
I'm a die-hard Squeezebox fan, but with Sonos PLAY:1 going for as little
as $135 right now, it would be hard to recommend anything else. Buy a
few for the key rooms and add on as you can afford. If you want higher
fidelity, get a Play:5. If you want to plug it into an existing
receiver/HTIB,

Agreed. While an individual player can live on a stable wireless
connection, a server feeding multiple streams (ethernet or wireless)
works best on a gigabit

The networking is fundamental to a robust system. NEVER run the server
on anything other than wired connection.

Oh my, such a broad question. There are literally endless combinations
of combined and discrete configurations. It will all depend on your
priorities, budget and objectives. Perhaps one way to give you an
option tree is to describe what we have.
