96/24 Audio,DTS Signals

I actually have 2 questions.1:I have a Yamaha DVD-S795 dvd player with 96/24 DACs & I want to check out some of the new 96/24 cd's on the market.Can someone tell me if my outdated Marantz SR-580 Dolby Digital reciever will play these with the full 96/24 resolution or do I need to upgrade to a newer reciever?2:If my dvd player passes a 5.1 DTS signal will it also pass the new DTS 6.1 discrete & matrix signals as well?Thanks for the help,G.B.

I'm not positive, but I don't your Yamaha passes a true 24/96 signal either. Pioneer DVD players are some of the few that do. Although maybe your Yamaha is newer?? I'm not familiar with that player.

If your receiver processes all signals digitally, the answer is probably no. I bought a $2000 Rotel 985 about one year ago and it processes all inputs (except the 5.1) digitally as 48/24. For example, the signal from my turntable gets processed digitally as 48/24. It does this to operate bass management, balance, input volume levels, etc. I use the 5.1 input for my SACD player, but I lose bass management and other things (can't use the sub, DPL, balance). I can use the volume control.

If your receiver keeps the signal in analog (except when using DD or DTS), then it's likely processing near full resolution.
