DVD-A player that'll output 24/96 digital signal

I was told on in a post on this forum that a Technics A10 player will output 24/96 through it's digital output. Now somebody who owns one wrote to tell me this wasn't so and said he checked it himself to be sure. Is there any player out there that you can use with an outboard DAC ?

Same experience. My Esoteric DV-50 can be set to output 24/96, and I have done so, but the manual says it can do it only on discs which permit it. It is hooked up to a digital input on a dCS Purcell, which displays the incoming data stream. On more than 20 DVD-A's, not one of them is outputting more than 48, according to the Purcell. In contrast, when I turn on the upconversion on my other digital source, the Purcell reads 24/96 incoming.

Why not just get a player with a good D/A? Good D/A's are no longer uncommon. The need for outboard D/A's is fast disapearing.

Huh? moi? Anyway, rewording everything, the Liteon is the greatest thing since soft tissue. It's cd play is astounding for $150. It can also read every kind of DVD you put in it.

I have an EAD DVD Master 8000 Pro and as stated above by most other resposes I only get the 24/96 with the Analog pass through, have note yet gotten it with the digital. And as stated above my manual also states that the 24/96 is based on the DVD-A being played (lock/ unlock). Out of the 12 to 15 disc's I currently own all have been able to play the 24/96 in analog
