Calling experts on this one: when using the Tidal app directly to a DAC (non-MQA), the sample rates are 88.2 or 44.1kHz.

When using either Daphile or BubbleUPnP with an external UPnP renderer that gives spdif to the same DAC, the DAC recognizes all sample rates of test files from 48-192kHz (DSD omitted for simplicity), so the chain works correctly.

However, when using Tidal with those methods, it sticks to 44.1kHz even with the Master recordings. It also shows it as such in the software.
Somehow it therefore seems that Tidal through UPnP is downsampled but I cannot see anywhere to change it?
