Hi,Perf' No problem hooking the dvd coax up to your dac. Some players(Pioneer 09& 05) have two coax outs. One, you won't be able to use, as it is for DD or DTS.They are both clearly marked.The other is a 48 mixdown of the 24/96 signal.(the one you want) Most others players you just go into the players menu and make your '48' selection. Do this before you install the cable.If you don't have it right,you get nothing but buzz stuff, so make sure you lower the volume till you are locked on/in.Turn the pre off, if you have it wrong.
