The menu item would still just be "Lossless (FLAC)"
Ah, I see your point. You are absolutely right that it is simpler. However, my rationals were something like this:
- 24bit / 192khz can takes up to 5Mbits/sec, while 96khz only 2.5Mbits. If someone running on a limited bandwidth (okay, rare but), he/she might want to limit it to 96khz for bandwidth.
- (Maybe an issue, if DAC do not automatically handles this) In case a DAC only supports up to 96khz (e.g. Dragonfly Black), when we don't want to do re-sampling.
- (Not important but) Similar behavior to Qobuz default app: Official app let the users select "streaming quality" such as, 1) mp3, 2) CD (16bit) 44.1 3) up to 96khz, 4) up to 192khz. and so on. So such selection would look familiar to any Qobuz user.
