Seems that I've read that DVD-A allows for the output at higher sample/bit rates as an OPTION to the authors. Meaning, most big studio DVD-As apply the downconversion automatically as a form of content-protection. I don't know if this is a feature of DVD-A or MLP. I do know that the only DVD-A disc I have that allows for the passing of hirez is the Beach Boys Pet Sounds, and even then, only the original mono mix.As for DADs, they'll pass the 96/24 as they don't have this copy-protection feature. Thats probably why more studios haven't embraced the format.
My question is, does your player output the upsampled CD info at the higher rates?
take care
