What is the difference between S1 and S2 in terms of Hi-Res?

Before I updated to S2, S1 was playing my 24-bit FLAC files but up to 48KHz sample rate. It won’t play anything above this. S1 was not meant to play anything above CD quality 16bit.

When I heard that S2 will be playing Hi-Res I thought it will play all Hi Res tracks up to 24/192KHz I thought finally. So S1 was downgrading the track quality before it plays? Also any tracks higher than 24/48 it says it cannot play.

Now with S2 - there is no change as yet. It still plays up to 24/48 and I presume is downgrading the tracks.

Does S2 have the capability to play Hi-Res tracks? Or is this feature coming soon?

Thanks.
