Node 2i Coax Out


So... I bought a node 2i for its Roon streamer capabilities. I want to use it with my external DAC (schiit Gungnir Multibit). As I’m researching I’m reading some disappointing stuff... 
can the node 2i really only output 24/96 over coax?!!!
 Should I return this?
Why wouldn’t it just pass whatever data was sent to it if it’s bypassing the DAC? 

Please advise!

@allane I think that’s what I’m understanding as well. I’m bummed about it. My Simaudio moon does it all over ethernet and has a great DAC... the whole reason I bought the bluesound was for streaming, now I’m regretting it.  
Y’all are right.
a. It sounds great 
b. It will pass 24/192

I was all fired up for nothing. Y’all know how it is... you spend a bunch of money then you have buyers remorse. Then you listen to your tunes and it’s all better. 
Then you go buy more stuff !
