Not really

What Galo actually writes is:

"One of my frustrations is how the recording industry has prevented Super Audio CD (SACD) and Blu-ray customers from getting the most out of these potentially-excellent formats. I have my OPPO BDP-105 player set so the S/PDIF digital output will deliver the full resolution of all PCM media, up to 192 kHz/24 bit. To my extreme annoyance, all the Blu-ray audio discs that I own force the OPPO to down-convert high-resolution discs to 48 kHz/16 bit at the digital output. I realize that this is done to prevent piracy, but the recording companies are also preventing users of outboard DACs from fully realizing maximum performance from these discs."

I have my Oppo 105D connected to a PS Audio DirectStream DAC both by coax and TOSlink. The TOSLink is limited to 96/24 but formats up to 192/24 on external hard drives pass through to the DS DAC without issue.
