Late to the party, just came accross the topic.
For what it's worth, I found another issue with Yamaha products.
I use the very same WXC-50 in either pre-amp or player mode.
My Physical set-up is as follows : WXC-50==ToSLink==> RME ADI-2 DAC Fs ==XLR L/R==> iLoud MTM powered monitors.
1) When I send a 192kHz/24bit file from my Laptop over my network to the WXC-50, the RME DAC acknowledges this is indeed a 192 kHz/24bit signal
2) When I use MC-Link (MusicCast-Link & App), and send the same file from another MusicCast device from Qobuz, it ils downsampled to 48 kHz (24bits are maintained though).
So it appears the "in-streaming" source selection to the WXC-50 also matters.
Hope it is useful to anyone, I don't really bother although I needed to see where the "problem" came from ( Yamaha or RME : definitely Yamy within the MC-Link, not the Musiccast "App" per se).
