DVD Player & my DAC


I would like to purchase a DVD player so that I may be able to play 24/96 discs. Presently I own a MSB Link DAC III and would like to know if used with a DVD player would I be able to get true 24/96 audio using this set up? My hunch says no but I would like a confirmation on this hunch.

Just spoke to andy bartha about the upgrade he does to the pioneer dv-525 which makes it a much better stand alone cd player. He recommends still using it with the msb link dac III but that's where a problem comes in. If you use the 525 coaxial digital output to the link-dac, you're only left with analog out to the processor and that only yields dolby prologic, not digital. Anybody have experience with this? Is there a remedy besides bagging the dac and/or getting a dedicated (cheap) dvd for dolby digital?
