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 can confirm what richtruss says, I have the same TDAI3400 and I could only hear very marginal differences between spotify and some qobuz tracks when using ipad and Mconnect HD.

using bubbleupnp and a samsung phone there is more microdetails and improved soundstage. I would certainly try this if you have an android device or can get a friend round with one.

the sound wasnt dull before but its more with bubbleupnp.
