At the Oxford Audio event back in 2018, Mathieu Pernot mentioned that it would be technically possible (in terms of hardware) for a Pro to run PCM to 32bit/768kHz and DoP to DSD512. This would be via USB and would require a future firmware update.
At the time (12th July 2018) Mathieu joked that maybe they would do it if France win the world cup. Perhaps what he was not banking on was the eventual fact that France did indeed win the 2018 world cup. Anyway, that was two and a half years ago now, and it has not happened yet.

As an aside, the USB input is already capable of 32/192, but what actual use that is in practice I am not sure.
