Now, you got me worried about that 88.2kHz. I'd find it odd if my dac didn't recognize native DSD.
One thing occured to me. My mch SACD player is connected to my AVR through HDMI to provide a mch DSD stream. According to the manual in Pure Direct mode the AVR decodes the DSD stream to analogue without interim PCM conversion - the display, the video board and all DSP is off. In Source Direct mode only DSP is off and the display shows 88.2 kHz although the DSD light is still on. The same strange 88.2 kHz add-on to DSD playback...
