Hdtracks flacs at 96/24 but recognized as 44/16

I am streaming 96/24 flac files to a dac (w4s-dac1) from my MacBook pro using the toslink connection. The dac list the file sample rate to be 44/16.
The player I am using is VLC. What am I doing wrong

Thank

Am I looking in the wrong place? Are they in QucikTime. Help! I want to try running from my Samsung Netbook to W4S DAC2 Usb input and try out High Res tunes. Thx.

The other areas in that section will not let the 96 stand. Is this the correct set up?
