Hi-res streaming on Qobuz

Although hi-res titles on Qobuz indicate streaming at 96kHz or192kHz, I’m not sure my system is reproducing those levels. Both my Arcam Rplay streamer and Schiit Gungnir multibit manuals indicate they accept up to 192kHz.  But I can’t hear a difference in quality comparing hi-res to non hi-res files.  Even if I do an A B comparison using the exact same titles with Qobuz hi-res and Idagio CD quality  resolution, I hear no difference. There are no indicators to tell what’s happening, so I’m wondering if I’m indeed hearing in high resolution.
Is there any way I can be sure?

I am streaming Qobuz hi rez files to Gungnir multibit dacs in two different systems with exceptional results. One uses an Anticable  coax output from a Blusound node 2i the other via a MAC to Anticable USB to the Gungnir multibit.  I think USB may be a bit better with good cables.
You may want to try a different interconnect or power cable. I use Anticable power cords in both. No complaints at all. I replaced Tidal with Qobuz. MQA did nothing for me through the Blusound DAC. Don't give up on the Gumby multi. It's really good.
