A-hah! Sorry, my mistake. I did see that @mook wrote "I don't do Tidal",
but I thought the question was still about what would happen after
signing up for Tidal, because this is a Tidal thread. As an old boss of
mine used to say, "There you go, thinking again..." (to which he added
the first time, "Who told you to think?"). 

MQA files on your server are indeed probably working right with those
settings, and I don't think you need to check any further, but if you
wanted to then you'd require a DAC with a display that shows the sample
rate in numbers. 

Don't worry about not being able to hear the difference. 'A study in the

found that many people cannot distinguish between different sample
rates, and some of those who do prefer Hi Res can often only describe it
in emotional terms. I can usually hear it very clearly, but in many ways
I'm jealous of those who can't, because it gives me OCD about things
like sample rate displays, lol.
