Playback of ISO-(SACD) files and setting of best possible output formats

Hi there,

I'm new in Foobar2000 use and I was tuned in on it because I can now rip SACD from my 'new' Sony Bluray BDP-S790 onto a harddisk.
I save as RAW ISO and can playback from PC into my CD player Simaudio Moon 260D (with DAC) connecting with a USB-cable (A-male + B-male).
I have installed the plugin (foo_input_sacd-1.1.1a) on Foobar2000 that enables SACD playback of cause, but I have some questions on playback:

The DAC in the CD player (USB-inlet) can handle 24 bit/192.000 according to Simaudio. The DAC vendor states: 32 bit and system clock: 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768.

In Preferences in Foobar under Playback/Output: I have set for 32 bit.
In Tools/SACD I have under SACD/PCM Samplerate chosen 41.000. It all sounds detailed and georgous !! - If I chose 88.200 there is a weak white background noise.

It seems to me that the steps in the software PCM samplerates is a bit odd: 41.000, 88.200, 176.400, 352.800 - why is there not a 192.000 ?

If I chose higher samplerate: 176400 or 352800 the music is there but so is a very obvious constant white backgrpound noise.

I suppose it all comes down to the plugin: (foo_input_sacd-1.1.1a). Are there another plugin which is better for my setup ? Or another PC software which will be better all together ?

 ;)
