No.

Force 1x forces output to be compatible with 44k/48k equipment irrespective of input format ie 18bit DSP speakers. So 88k/96k material will be down sampled and be playable on this equipment.

Some Sooloos audio endpoints have a 'direct' mode which will pass native rate (after the core has down sampled any 176k/192k to 88k/96k) which is what you are thinking of.
