Dumb question about the resampler

Hi, I have an ancient soundcard which does not play 48000Hz files when is set to Kernel Streaming. Since Kernel Streaming gives me all clarity and eliminates the distortion caused by Windows, I always want to use it. The problem is that I have some WV, FLAC and MP3 files which are natively sampled at 48000Hz.

I found out that if you set the DSP (PPHS) resampler, I am able to play these 48000Hz through Kernel Streaming no problem (because they are being resampled at playback).

What about the native 44100Hz files? Do they also get somehow "processed" in playback, or is the DSP component intelligent enough to recognize the 441000Hz files and not process them? In other words, does the PPHS resamples every crap through it or has it the ability to ignore doing anything to 44100Hz files?

Thank you.

afaik it doesn't resample if the source samplerate matches the soundcard samplerate.
