Streaming 24/192 to Conventional Amp?

(1/1)

Below is a question from a friend. Any replies to this post, including clarifying questions, will be forwarded his way, since he is not a member here.

"Tidal is streaming FLAC now providing 24/192 quality.  But I think if I use airplay from my iPhone this is dropped back to 48 kHz.  I am also not clear what rate I get if I use the Tidal app directly on my Samsung TV to send the audio to my amp over hdmi.  Maybe someone on the net knows the answers to this.  Do I need an outboard codec to get 24/192?  If I do, am I likely to buy some expensive hardware that is obsolete in a few years?   I am struggling to find these answers online anywhere!"

If I understand the question, what's the most direct way he can go Tidal's hi-res playback > AppleTV box > traditional amp plus Monitor Audio speakers? :)

All ideas gratefully received.
