Sony transport 24/ 96 dac compatability


I have an older Sony cd player, the x77es. I was wondering if I would get the same performance from a dac that has 24/96 capability using the sony as a transport, or would you need to use the newer concept such as the dvd players or a cd player with the 24/96 converter already built in to gain the additional performance. Any comments? Chip

Yes it is true! Not all of them has 24/96 digital output so beware of SONY´s 7700-DVD! It DOWNsamples a 24/96 signal to 16/44 if you use the digital or optical output! Why? Copyright issues says SONY. Shame on SONY! I know I got one. Kampfpudel
