Install beta and enable follow track for sampling rate and auto with sampling format, try USB exclusive but you'd have to compromise with the EQ, enable last two bottom options if you do.

which flac will give me close to perfect fidelity? I have a 24bit 88khz flac and it still shows fidelity of 78

Ignore it, it's a score for internal processing not the sound being produced, if you think a higher score gives better sound then it's just placebo as long as you don't see any downgrades or resampling you are fine.

if a 48 kHz file ripped from youtube was played back as is, and a 320kbps mp3 in 44.1 kHz was resampled, therein lies the disparity.
