Zen Stream - How to limit Qobuz streaming to 96Khz

Hi,

I have a Zen Stream (with a S Booster) and I'd like to try Qobuz as it seems SQ is a bit better (presently with Tidal). I plan to buy a Border Patrol Dac but this Dac is limited to 96khz. I think we can limit the output to 96Khz with an Innous streamer but I was wondering if the same can be done with the Zen Stream. I did not find anything in the ZS app and I was wondering if this can be done in the app or otherwise.

PS : I would use an iPad / MConnect to control the streaming.

Thanks...

Thanks for the answer Soix. This is exactly what I was looking for (by the way, I already have the MConnect  HD version). I noted that you also use the Zen Stream. Just to let you know that the ZS responds VERY well to a better power supply (I had the wallmart power supply with my ZS). Significant upgrade. 

Latitk: Interesting comment. I fully understand your point re ‘sound natural‘. I prefer Tidal Hifi (redbook) over Tidal MQA (sounds more natural to me) and the Border Patrol Dac is a NOS Dac that, as per my readings, sounds natural (I will chose natural sound over the last bit of detail anytime). However, I was not aware that downsampling to say 96khz can have that effect on the sound. Is it very significant?

Thanks…
