I have just checked this and I am able to play both 24/192 and 24/176 but the files are transcoded to 96 and 88 respectively. The latter are the frequencies shown as input by my Tact Audio TCS3. When I click on the particular track for info it seems that the 192 track is being converted to FLAC

The clock fed into the DAC chip has to be a certain multiple of the sample rate, usually 128 or 256. Frequently it can be greater as well such as 512. Common frequencies for the 48Khz family are 12.288Mhz or 24.576MHz. IF the minimum multiplier for the DAC chip is 128, and 12.288 was chosen as
