Opera 62 on Lubuntu 18.04, FF can play hi res audio. chromium don't think so, how about opera? Any special settings to enable it?

Please name a site that has such audio, or the filetype of an audio file from such a site.

@jimunderscorep If you type high resolution audio in youtube search you will get such files up to 48k sampling. According to this article www.laptopmag.com/articles/chrome-browser-flac-support it has been quite sometime now that google chrome had that feature. You can just drag and drop flac file to firefox and play hi res audio. You can get the sample files from here: helpguide.sony.net/high-res/sample1/v1/en/index.html.

See the thread linked to in @jimunderscorep signature. Without the right codecs it will not work.
About that.
I have to add that I do not use chromium ffmpeg codecs (because my distro does not package them), yet the forementioned audio file still plays with opera's stock libffmpeg. -

@jimunderscorep You also need a DAC capable of playing such sampling rate, I have usb DAC connected to my laptop, it will light up at the audio file sampling rate. Chromium ffmpeg will play the file but will downsampled to 44.1k. Try playing the file thru VLC if configured properly your DAC will play and indicate what sampling rate it is.

Then it seems I am missing 2 things to verify if such a file plays as it should . One is the DAC and the other one is... a set of ears that can tell the difference.
And since I have none of the two, all I can do is verify that the file plays inside opera. And it does, like any other flac file would.
As for the downsampling, "unfortunately" opera is not a media player, so there is no way to check if it drops the sampling quality from 48k to 44.1k, so I also can not tell if it happens.
