The aspect of ripping DVDA (24/192 stereo  24/96 multi ch) isn't terribly hard to do, but the learning curve for it all is a bit exasperating depending on which application you use.
There's a few DVDA ripping apps around on the web. Google will point you to them. I posted a thread recently asking which one people here were using so you might look at that thread too.
All the processing, ripping, downmixing (if desired) when done on the PC is going to be accomplished in the digital domain.
The main limiting factor for DVDA and any other high res files, ripped or downloaded is likely to be merely hard drive space, and the DA conversion device, or DAC.
There are too those apps which will play back multi ch audio and at native rates. So all you need is some software, some hard drive acreage, and a DAC or interface to a multi ch processor and of course a multi ch audio system.
So take your pick download Âem or rip Âem from your DVDA collection. You pick.
