The very first Philips DACs in the earliest CD players ran at 4x sample rates. Overheating wasn't a problem.Yes, but, many years ago we didn't have too many companies coming with crazily high data rates.
I think checking things relatively simple to check isn't harmful, even if only to confirm they don't matter.
The first Sony DACs actually ran one channel DACs and switched between the left and right channel running at 2x rates.
