Audiophiles! 192 kHz 24bit over optical? Heresy?

So I have this "old school" sort of rig with a substantial PC based music library (more than 3tb FLAC) communicating to my Integra receiver via optical "toslink" and broadcast over B & W 804's or Sennheiser 800HD's.

I've always just played stuff, managed my library using Roon - and sort of accepted that the 192/24 part of my library would be closed to me until I get around to doing an HDMI/USB set up.

But I was "radioing" tonight and Nora Jones "Come Away with Me" started to play (I use Roon).

I knew that this album was 192/24 and shouldn't be available over optical but it was totally giving me musical pleasure!

I verified with Roon that the tracks being received were 192/24.

Seems to be at odds with my google research about toslink capabilities.

Any experts out there?
