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.

Several DVD players output 24/96. My Pioneer Elite DV-05 does so. There are a couple of things, minimum, to consider. First, one must usually configure the player to output 96k. The default is 48k. Secondly, many audiophile recordings are marked 24/96. Unfortunately, they are recorded at that bit/sample rate. They output the standard 16/44.1 in most cases. The MSB, by the way, will pass 24/96 in its' stock form.
