I have my iMac in my living room with JR installed (MC24) and have my Onkyo Receiver in my man cave 15 yards into my back garden with my Onkyo Amplifier - https://www.intl.onkyo.com/products/av_components/av_receivers/tx-rz830/index.html

I am trying to stream my music to my Onkyo but it will only work on very few occasions - I have my Onkyo connected to a wi fi Extender (wired ethernet) I have had it on occasions streaming 192khz 24 bit material to the amp but 9 times out of 10 it won’t connect - am I doing something wrong - any suggestions on a fix would be great

What version of MC are you using?

What are your settings?

Are you using DLNA and have you changed any DLNA settings?

Try playing an ordinary FLAC file.  High bitrate files may not be well supported.

The fact that you have to use a WiFi extender to reach your man cave, tells me that your WiFi is very borderline. I would recommend using hard wired Ethernet connections from both server and renderer to your router.
