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

“some things that come through as 24/192 don’t always sound better than 24/96“”

 

Amen to that. 
Mastering is more important.

My experience also. 192 does nothing to benefit mediocre recordings.

I agree. I find mastering of far greater importance than the actual resolution. Once and a while I will hear a really great recording with great dynamics… so I will check the resolution… frequently it is red book. Not always. 
 

I would pursue figuring out is you are not getting the highest Rez. Why wouldn’t you. But just a note… it may not matter much.
