Have to admit that given Devialet’s track record I am a little bit surprised that so many people took it at face value and got their hopes up. If they had really broadened the signal pipe from 24/48 to 24/96 Devialet would have been shouting it from the rooftops and would probably even have given it a new TLA!
I believe @

Maybe it is Roon that does the "...192k/24 is converted to 96k/24 and 176.4k/24 to 88.2k/24."? Roon does power-of-two resampling for compatibility reasons if one tells it to. It's important that Phantoms report at least 96kHz max to Roon for those who use MQA. If 48kHz is max on a device the MQA processing in Roon is disabled.
Would you happen to know if a pair of Phantoms plays 44.1 natively or is this up-sampled to 48kHz?

I noticed the same in Roon. The sample rate conversion takes place in the Phantoms. 96 KHz to 48 KHz is NOT what Devialet promises in the Phantom I specs. I hope that they will be solving this ASAP with a firmware update. I have contacted Devialet about this issue and they admitted their shortcomings and apologized for it. Apologies are easily made - Solving this issue is another thing. I wonder why this could even be possible in the first place.

Ask yourself... are you honestly hearing a difference in the sound?
2 Channel Power / Signal Path: APC H15 → Mistral Audio W-3900 → Custom Roon Server → Silent Angel Bonn N8 → Silent Angel Forester F1 → miniDSP SHD Studio → Mutec MC-3+ USB → Devialet Phantom I 108dB
Headphone iFi Audio iDSD Signature → Grado GS1000i
