Question about 96/24 sources...


Hi all,

I am somewhat confused concerning a setting in my Denon 1600 DVD player. In setup, there is a setting for PCM downconversion of signals recorded at either 96kHz or 88.2kHz. It states that only non-copyrighted material will not be downconverted to 48kHz or 44.1 kHz if this is turned off. Further, my AVR (Denon 2105) states that it will take a 96/24 signal, but it only says this in a DTS context. So, my confusion is twofold:

First, every DVD I own is copyrighted, so is there any point in my allowing 96/24 to pass through, since it will be down converted anyway?

Second, if my AVR will only take a 96/24 signal in a DTS context, what about the DD material?

Obviously, I am grossly misunderstanding this stuff. Could someone give me a "Audio for Morons" version? Thanx!


Peace... Vader
