Question about Metrum Octave and 192 kHz

I downloaded an album from HD Tracks at 24 bit, 192 KHz onto my iMac.
I play thru a Logitech Squeezebox Touch over a wireless network. The digital output from the Touch goes into a Metrum Octave DAC.
It plays the album !! Does this mean that my Metrum Octave DAC is working at 192 kHz ??

I believe it does.

My Metrum played 24/192 using a JKenny on my computer, but gets jarbled up over the Squeezebox Touch. If yours is operating as it should over the Touch, then I think you're one of the lucky few.

Does the SB Touch even output 192kHz signal ? It may by downsampling the signal without letting you know.

PS. Some Octave DACs indeed do 192kHz.

Elberoth2, I suspect you may be correct. The SB Touch is probably down sampling and outputting 96 kHz . I am considering updating the firmware on the SB Touch so that it will output 192 KHz.
