DVD Digital audio out

Pioneer yes

Hello,

My pioneer (dv-747a) outputs 24/96 with all media, except SACD.
Even normal audio cd's are sampled up.
I don't know about other brands.
Be aware that SACD never sends digital out, wich is for copy protection.

I do not think so, first off dvda and dvdv with more then 16/48 typically do not allow (due to copy protection) more then 16/48 on the digital output.
The menu gives you a hint, try setting spdif downconversion to off and play a native 24/96 source....you'll typically get nothing on the digital out.
Secondly I do not know of ANY player upsampling anything to 24/96 on spdif out.
 
Hi,

My manual of the pioneer says:

- If you listen to multichannel dvd-audio through one of the digital outputs, it will be downsampled to stereo. Also, high sampling rate dvd-audio (192khz or 176.4khz) will be downsampled to 96khz, 88khz, 48 khz or 44.1 khz, depending on the disc. Multi channel and high sampling rate dvd-audio is only available through the analog outputs. Some dvd-audio and all sacd audio is output only through the analog outputs.

Other media is also upsampled through the legato link of the pioneer. (like wadia)
