Therefore, I do not recommend connecting Meson8* devices to the DAC primarily to listen to Hi-Res audio formats. Due to the above, the transmission of the digital signal will be lossy in terms of both the sampling frequency and the dynamic range (bit rate).
So sad 
Thank for your answer!
Hi, i installed LibreELEC-X8-X8H.arm-9.2.8.3.img.gz on my Minix X8-H TV box today, and want to play some hi-res PCM audio.
Then i made Kodi settings to provide passtrough to my old Sony STR-DB840 reciever via optical SPDIF cable, and when i play 24/96, or 24/48 files, reciever information always show me only 44.1 sample rate, instead 48, 96, or 192 mhz, file sample rate.
Then i tried to upscale level of sample rate trough kodi settings, but it dont give any effect.
AC3 and DTS streams flows via SPDIF passtrough correctly, it show 48 or 96 mhz sample rate, but PCM (flac or m4a), is fixed to 44.1, regardless of their real sample rate.
Yes, my Sony STR-DB840 reciever can play audio via SPDIF with sample rate up to 96/24 (proof of this in attachment).
What can i do to fix it?
