All my FLAC files are 44.1/16

I read about the settings and kept paying with the comments line, trying to change the compression to 8 or add %bitrate% = 192 but all my CDs are being encoded with the same parameters of 44.1KHz/16bit...or at least that's what I see displayed next to the file name when looking at the file properties.

Is that normal ? Can I somehow "upsample" in FLAC ?

Noticed the same thing for the FLAC files ripped from CDs on my Antipodes music server.  I was used to upsampling them during ripping when I was using a Mac mini server.  The same music sounds better through the Antipodes.

Open question...why upsample a 44.1/16 CD when ripping? Why not let the ripped file go to the DAC in its native rate?
Some DACS will process it as 44/16, i.e., multi-bit, and some will upsample it.

I have a CDP that does upsampling but that works only with CDs...as I don't have another transport.
The files would be stored on the Sony HAP server.

No separate DAC for me
