48K, 96K or 192K

Please excuse my ignorance on the subject...

I just bought an upconverting DVD player which will also play dvd-a discs. There is an option to set the SPDIF to either "Raw" or "PCM" (default is raw). The output frequency of the LPCM audio data can be set to 48K, 96K or 192K.

The front two channels of this device will be fed into a digital amplifier feeding a pair of NHT Xds. The remaining channels go into a B&K AVR305 av receiver.

What does all of this mean, and how should I set this puppy up?

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Thanks! God knows where my B&K manual is...

I just spent the last few days programming a universal remote (MX-700) and my brain hurts!

Tvad: "OK, I'm bored and determined to help, so I looked through the B&K AVR305 manual which mentions accepting DVD-A up to 24/192 through the 5.1 analog inputs, so I'd say set the player to 24/192 as Kal suggested."

Good idea but makes no sense. If the B&K's input is analog, the sampling rate is irrelevant. Something's still not clear here.

Thanks for the link. As I said, using the 5.1 DVD-A inputs, which are analog, the sampling rate is irrelevant.
