In Reply to: 24/96 through the coax? I thought this was against some rule.. posted by Duilawyer on April 8, 2004 at 16:46:21:
...I thought too that the companies had decided not to do it. But here is what it says on page 21 under the heading "Digital Output (DVD-V, DVD-A" and the sub-head "down conversion":"Select how to output audio with a sampling frequency of 96khz or 88.2khz. Select "yes" (downconvert) if the equipment you connect cannot process signals with a sampling frequency of 96khz or 88.2khz. ("No" Factory Preset: Output as 96khz or 88.2khz).
It goes on to note that anything higher than 96khz is automatically downconverted to 48khz or 44.1khz regardless of setting.
Now, this manual is a model of confusion and incoherence, so it is possible that they are referring only to DD. But that's not what it says, and it specifically specifies it applying to DVD-A as well as DVD-V. So presumable 24/96 DVD-A and 24/96 DAD's can be output at 24/96.
I don't have a converter to test this, and have simply turned off the digital output.
