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

FYI, the Technics DVD-A10 has a "re-master" function that upsamples redbook cds from 16 bit 48 khz to 24 bit 88 khz. And, the digital out transmits up to 24 bit 192 khz.

With only a generic powercord, the DVD-A10 with the remaster on and only with a stock powercord sends an equally good signal to the Meridian 563 as good as the Meridian 500's transport with a Virtual Dynamics Audition Cryo PC.
