Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it?


I am using chrome to stream Tidal to USB DAP Fiio X3 gen2. Fiio display shows 192kHz/24bit. Sounds amazing. It suppose to be 44.1kHz/16bit. Don't know why. Anyone has the answer?

jond, sorry, where do you see the sampling rate, on the Aries or the Tidal app it self?

I just did a bit of research and it appears that majority of the Tidal HiFi content is 16bit/44.1kHz. This implies to me that even if a device is capable of 24bit/192kHz, the sound quality is still CD quality at best, unless some upsampling is applied by the device. Those of you folks who own such devices, do you hear significant improvement in the sound between straight thru CD quality and upsampled version? This would give me the excuse I need to upgrade my Node 2 to something better... or insert a better (upsampling) DAC - with two coax inputs, between my CDP and Node 2 and my preamp.
kalali I see it on the lightning DS app that controls the Aries that I run on my ipad mini. One oddity I’ve noticed on Tidal I’ve come across one or two recording that are designated higher sampling rates. One was 96 khz the other was 192 khz but when played they show the sampling rate as  44.1 khz, go figure.
I played flac file and CD using foobar to  FIIO, it shows 44.1khz/16bit. But when I play Tidal with chrome to FIIO, it shows 192khz/24bit. Don't know why. It definitely sounds better than 44.1khz/16bit. It might sound better than dsd64 in my opinion.
Tidal is 16/44 or lower. There are a few 320kbs files on tidal if they can't get a 16/44 file, but there are very few of these  You are upsampling.. Classicsonlinehd does up to 24/192
I have never found upsampling to improve sound.
