I have a Chromecast Audio which is capable of 96KHz/24bit, I have this plugged in to my CA DacMagic Plus, however, my DAC always says the sample rate is 44.1KHz. I use the Amazon HD app via my android phone and have in the past used Tidal. From what I understand, the reason for the lower sample rate is that it's determined by the app which disregards the intended quality to be played from Amazon or Tidal.
I don't want to get rid of the Chromecast, but I do want better quality, is there a way round this? If not, would it be worth me looking at something like a Wiim Pro or a Raspberry Pi option as a streamer?
