That Pioneer model as with all "domestic" universal players -
24/192 is only performed on-board.
With DVD-A the digital output is automatically downsampled
to 48khz via HDMI. And via S/PDIF and Toslink the digital output is 16/44.
With SACD there is no digital output via either HDMI nor S/PDIF,
GoTo Pioneers UK site, click the support link, download the PDF
manual for that model and it will fully explain on pages 37 - 39.
It is not possible to do what you require with *any* domestic
universal player.

First, there is digital output of DSD and its PCM convert at
full resolution via HDMI from a number of players. (Off
hand, I know of the Oppo 980, 981, 983 and the Pioneer DV-48
and DV-58). There are also several that will output via
iLink (IEEE 1394). In addition, a few manufacturers (Denon,
Accuphase, etc.) have effectively-similar proprietary
digital interfaces for this.

Recording this is another story. The only way that I know
of is to see about hardware solutions like:
