A high resolution recording has very little to do with bit depth and

Mastering is all important.

I had a look at the manual for the Hegel, and there's no mention of
being able to handle 24/192 anywhere.
If it were capable of handling 24/192 on any of the inputs they would
state so - it widens the scope for potential purchasers.
My Touch is quite happy dishing out 24/192 files to my 24/192
The maximum sample rate a Squeezebox Classic will support natively is
48000Hz.
LMS will downsample anything with a higher sample rate.

I wouldn't have thought that many recordings in the Jazz idiom would be

it's unlikely to have been mistreated in the same way as Pop music has.
