Thanks for the comments GE... Well, here in 2017, I still consider 24/96 "hi-res" of course. Last I checked, my kids' ears apparently have not evolved enough to render 24/96 inadequate :-).
Yes, the digital interfaces AES/EBU, TosLink, coaxial can be used for >24/96 but the Transporter does not support this. My understanding is that the limitation here is with the Ubicom IP3K CPU, 28Mbits RAM, and the embedded operating system. It is an interesting idea nonetheless and even if the hardware is capable of the hack, remember that you'll need to stream lossless PCM over the ethernet as FLAC decompression is likely out of the question especially over the 802.11g WiFi. These days, for <$100 you could just stream with a Raspberry Pi 3 or equivalent to your heart's content even beyond 192kHz over USB of course... Looking forward to your blind test entry! Good to see you have the Touch for 176.4/192 playback. Remember the only reason I went with the 4x samplerate is to capture a bit of the digital filter effect from MQA to get closer to "the sound" given how much they tout the effect of their variety of digital filtering. Unofficially, of course one could just play back over 96kHz; so long as the downsampling is done the same way, one should still be able to hear any significant differences between the MQA Core decode and a standard hi-res downsample.
