Good morning everyone… I went to play from my library to day and noticed my 192khz was only playing at 96khz… not sure what the change was , had not touched anything…

I reset everything… but wanted to get feedback if Path looked ok ?

Looks fine. You are playing a 24/48 file to your Hegel which is doing all the MQA processing.

Thanks !
Figured it be the « white » symbol all the way through like a direct path

Thanks again !

I think your Hegel H390 MQA Capabilities should be set to Decoder and Renderer. I also recommend enabling MQA Core decoder.

(It does not impact your current signal path. However, if some day you wish to use Roon DSP or volume leveling, then it matters.)
