Nope, it's possible that it's a limitation of the hardware (chipset) itself. If so, you have to hope the M2 or whatever future chips Apple makes supports it.

I used to come from a surround setup with a reciever but when upgrading to stereo I lost a major convenience of being able to switch A+V sources with a single remote and button press. I can audibly hear the triangle-metallic "artifacting" when upsampling 44.1 to 48 so I really hope this gets resolved in the future. I don't know how the macos environment works but if we're at stuck at apple's "we know what's best for our customers" attitude and this doesn't get resolved/sticking to 48 was intentional likethe apple tv, would anyone be able to write custom drivers?

As for the upsampling, try the use SoX option in MC to see if that sounds any better.

I'm guessing it's not fixed in Big Sur 11.2 final?

I haven't taken it downstairs to test with my amp again but it's still only showing 48k connected to my monitor.

I don't think they want to fix it but then again I can't believe they decided to do this so I guess anything is possible.
When I first got my ATV4K I assumed it would be capable of anything my old Mac mini could do output wise but that is locked completely to 48KHz.
I did read one paper online suggesting everything use 48KHz to enhance compatability with new hardware and maybe they read the same thing. Edit - This is the thing I found online and honestly I didn't read all the way through it...

I try to tell myself ... hey maybe that's at the limit of perceptibility but if I have something that can play my files unaltered then that just seems like a better over all plan.
