Is it iTunes or my system?

I recently streamed a tune from iTunes, which sounded terrible. The tune was Sting's Fields of Gold performed by the 2 CELLOS, >usb to OPPO-205 up sampling input to 24/192>analog out to Sony prepro. I also played the tune wirelessly via Airport Express with the same distortion/clipping. I think this "bonus" tune on the album is just a very, very bad mastering. Perhaps, someone here running Apple Music can download this tune and give me their impression. .

Don't have iTunes or apple stuff but why do you up-sample it?

I have some 24/192 in my iTunes Library, which will not output at that rate unless I've got iTunes preferences set to 24/192. I've set the OPPO to 24/192 to receive it.
