New to streaming question

Hi - I'm an analog front end guy but recently decided to start streaming in our family room.  I have a Naim Uniti Atom HE and have been using Quboz to stream but have a simple question.  The Hi-Res files on Quboz albums are available in 24bit-192 however the maximum I can play is at 24bit-92.  I have a CAT8 wired from my router directly to the Naim and am using my phone with Quboz to stream to the Naim via Chromecast.  What do I need to do connection-wise to listen to the files in 192?  Apologies for the basic question, I'm new to the streaming world.  Thanks very much

Hi Mike,

I don't think you need Chromecast in the chain. Your Naim Uniti Atom should stream directly from your ethernet connection, not through Chromecast. Here's what it says on the Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition page from Naim's website:

 Easy App control – in one room or many
The Naim App – available for Apple and Android devices – makes it simple to control your Uniti Atom Headphone Edition, and even link up other music systems around your home into a stunning multi-room set-up.


Use the App to access all your music, including your favorite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, and explore artist discographies and biographies.


Uniti Atom Headphone Edition works seamlessly with other Naim streaming products, including Mu-so systems. Choose the same song in beat-perfect sync or play different music in different rooms. You can also pair Uniti Atom Headphone Edition with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app, or with other Chromecast built-in devices via the Google Home app.
