Here is a partial answer:
I have connected my Capitole's DAC to an OPPO 970 DVD playing music DVD Audio discs (24/96Khz encoding) into the Capitole's SPDIF input. No problems, no need for special settings, the Capitole accepts a 24/96 signal, locks to the 2 channel mix and never missed a beat.
Wikipedia confirms that DVD-Audio uses linear PCM encoding, which is compatible with WAV files:
"Though a WAV file can hold compressed audio, the most common WAV format contains uncompressed audio in the linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) format. The standard audio file format for CDs, for example, is LPCM-encoded, containing two channels of 44,100 samples per second, 16 bits per sample. Since LPCM uses an uncompressed storage method which keeps all the samples of an audio track, professional users or audio experts may use the WAV format for maximum audio quality."
