"If you a "double NOS" DAC, like for example the older Philips types you can still play higher sample rate Audio, but the word length will be truncated to 16 Bit, or in the case of the AD1865 as used by Audio Note UK to 18 Bit."
Hopefully, the "truncation" involves dither at the appropriate point in the playback chain (e.g. player, driver, or DAC). Otherwise, there will be audible low level distortion. This will be obvious at 16 bits with good recordings on a decent system, more subtle at higher bit depths.
