As far as I'm aware the only discs that have 96/24 tracks are Digital Audio Disks (DAD, very rare species, some on Chesky). This format has failed to make an impact and is overtaken by SACD and DVD-A. To play this over your DAC, you would have to set the digital output to this resolution somewhere in your set-up, if indeed your DVD player allows you to. Normal "Movie" DVDs will only output at 48Khz. Anyone that's aware of high rez soundtracks, please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
24/96 DAC + DVD Player - Help
I recently picked up a Musical Fidelity X-24K 24/96 dac, and have it hooked up to the coax output of my cheap Sony DVD player. I have yet to see the DAC indicate a sampling rate above 48k. Is this normal? Is it a function of the recording, rather than the DVD player? When I turn off Dolby Digital at the digital output, it defaults to D-PCM. Is that the issue?
Thanks,
Neil
