New to streaming question

Hi - I'm an analog front end guy but recently decided to start streaming in our family room.  I have a Naim Uniti Atom HE and have been using Quboz to stream but have a simple question.  The Hi-Res files on Quboz albums are available in 24bit-192 however the maximum I can play is at 24bit-92.  I have a CAT8 wired from my router directly to the Naim and am using my phone with Quboz to stream to the Naim via Chromecast.  What do I need to do connection-wise to listen to the files in 192?  Apologies for the basic question, I'm new to the streaming world.  Thanks very much

All you need is a DAC that can process 24-192.

If your equipment is properly set up and capable of 24/192 you might want to check  your settings in Qobuz to make sure you’ve enabled 24/192 resolution.

+1, If your DAC equipment is properly set up and capable of 24/192 resolution you might want to check your settings in QoBuz to make sure you have enabled 24/192 resolution.   

Please confirm your DAC and QoBuz settings and report back what you find.

I'm using the built-in DAC of the Naim Uniti and my settings in Qobuz are all enabled to play 24/192.  I use the Qobuz app to play tracks that get sent to the Naim via Chromecast so might this be the issue?  If there's a better connectivity scenario for playing Qobuz to the Naim I'd love to find that out.

I’m pretty sure Chromecast does not have 24/92 capability.
