It’s actually explained fairly well here, but yes it’s pretty much per your quote from Danny:

sorry to dig this out, but I just would like to know the sample rate of the Chromecast audio as I’m thinking of buying one as a roon endpoint. Is it 24bit/192khz or 24bit/96khz?  
I’m reading conflicting information on this.

I want to stream my collection of CDs which is sitting on my NUC with Rock to the Chromecast. My  
playback device already has a Chromecast built-in so it’s 24bit/48khz…maybe it won’t make a difference but I’m still a beginner so forgive my candid questions 😉

Thank you 🙂

thank you Bill! Will it make a difference SQ-wise if I stream FLAC files that come from my CD collection on a Chromecast audio at 24bit/96khz vs a built-in Chromecast at 24bit/48khz?  
I assume it won’t, but I would appreciate a confirmation. Thanks again.

I don’t know, try it and see what you think. I’m pretty skeptical about “hi-res” formats, doubt they’re worth the effort.
