Rega DAC problems

I'm having trouble getting my Rega DAC to lock on to a 24/192 feed from my Oppo 105 disk player.
I'm using Toslink connector and playing a Blu-Ray version of: Yes - Close to the Edge.
The DAC is showing 44.1-48K.
I've checked the settings on the Oppo and they look proper. Pressing the info button displays 24/192 as the sampling rate.
I tried asking Rega for help but Agon email address came back invalid.
What am I doing wrong?

tune_man: Thanks. I guess it was too much trouble for Rega to note this somewhere. Looking forward to MQA.

My Blu Ray Player is connected by coax to the Rega DAC and shows 44.1-48k with Blu Ray Audio as I stated but Redbook CD's played on that player show 88.2-96k and I know they are 44.1. I think the Player is upsampling as I have a Logitech Squeezebox Touch and Denon universal Player connected to the DAC with Coax and Toslink and my ripped CD's (FLAC) and Redbook CD's show 44.1 when played on those devices. My Hi-Res files from HD Tracks and Qobuz show 88.2-96k as they should when played through the DAC from my Squeezebox.
I will try and find out more and report any findings.

Thanks for your interest and effort. I've always felt ripped-off that I couldn't playback hi-res from my Oppo. It would be interesting to know if 192/24 downloads would lock-on to player.

I can't try that out as my Squeezebox Touch only supports 24/96 and below and downsamples 24/192 to 24/96.
I hear you though as I picked up the Rega DAC for all it's inputs and Blu Ray Audio, SACD and DVD-Audio won't benefit from these connections to the DAC. Very frustrating indeed!
