In answer to both you and Argent, I believe that, at least at this point in time, you cannot output a 24/96 digital signal from a DVD-A disc played on a DVD-Audio player, and it is a software issue, not a hardware one. So an outboard DAC would help 16/44 redbook CD playback (if the unit plays CDs), but wouldn't help the higher resolution signal you're paying the extra money for with the DVD-A discs.
DVD Audio -- processor....TOSLINK or RCA?
Hi
I have a DVD audio player with 6 channel output and digital out (RCA and toslink)
The player has an inbuilt processor with DTS/ dolby pro logic/ DD/ HDCD compatibility
but everyone on audiogon has told me not to use the onboard processor ...i dont know why...it sounds great...when directly connected to my electrocompaniet and marantz sm17sa
if I REALLY do need a pre-amp how should i rig it? RCA or TOSLINK
