Squeeze box classic 3 vs. Slim Device Transporter.


I presently have a Squeeze box classic 3 digital output to a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21, which up samples to 24/192. I am curious to the fact that the Slim Device Squeeze box classic 3 past up to 24/48khz. were the Slim device Transporter is 24/96khz. and downloading 24/96khz HD music such as Chesky recording will affect my music in my present setup. Is it required to upgrade to a Slim Device Transporter. Please provide feedback.

Thank you Kgturner for your respond and that is just the point, knowing the Transporter passes 24/96 from the download stage makes me wonder through the Squeeze box at 24/48 then up sampled to 24/192 through the DAC is measured and compensated electronically. The musically part is were I am lost.
2chniben, maybe you can enlighten the thought to the original question and that is 24/96 native download passing it through the tri-viasta 21 DAC which up samples to 24/192. Is this just measured/compensated electronically with improved musicality or should I switch to 24/96. I have a choice on the Tri-Vista 24/96 or 24/192. Thank you for your support and thoughts on this issue.
Okay, thought I would share my research on this issue. Slim device has released some interesting updates that will benefit the use of the SB2/SB3 to the original question on bit streaming. Old version 7,2 would only allow 24/48 to pass when downloading Hi-res 96/24 music such as from HDTracks. However if you download the newer version 7.3.2 from Slim Device this will up sample as high as 24/192 over in FLAC using a player such as Media Monkey.
Hi Audiowoman. You need to check your version in Squeeze center settings click on the toolbar under "information" if you already have 123 version than you are setup for 7.3.2 To check out the benefit that might suit your needs and desires you can find out on http://wiki.slimdevice.com/index.php/Release_Notes#7.3.2_Release_Highlights
Happy audio listening.
