What is the best player for 24/96?

Also, Ryzir, android players like Poweramp and Neutron can play 24/96 and even 24/192 but the android kernels have limitation and output only 16/44.1, so they all downsample the music with ibasso dx100 being the only exception as it’s custom developed and has optical/coaxil out. I guess for now the best option is dx100.
