Difference between 24/96 and 24/192


I have to admit to having a tempermental transport, so I'm looking for a DVD player as a back up. My DAC is a Bel Canto 2 which upsamples to 24/192. My question is, would a cheap JVC 24/192 sound better than, say a Sony 9000ES rated at 24/96?

I think it really depends on your ears AND the transport. I've found that 96k upsampling sounds far better to my ears since it's not OVERLY detailed - it also (for some strange reason) sounds better with a Sony transport than a Phillips. The 192k upsampling does sound better with the Phillips transport, yet I STILL find it very analytical and not pleasing to my ears.

Hope this helps.
