96K DVD Output

Your preamp won't care until you actually play some 24/96 encoded media. So if you’re not playing 24/96 media it won't really matter what you set that too.

All of course in theory..

Jvr, I'm using the digital coax connection. This home theater thing is new to me. I guess all DTS/DD processing needs to be done through a 96k digital input (since I'm not using analog outs on the DVD and the Rotel ). Is that right? Then why would I even have the option of passing 48k through the digital outs of the DVD? Strictly for CD playback? Thanks! leo.

does your pre have a built in dac (like some surround receivers). the dvd might need you to set it to 96k on the digital out. that would be my guess anyway. are you using a digital out to the pre or just analogue out? it sounds as if you are using the dvd's dac through analogue out.

hope this has helped more than confused.
