I have to admit to having a tempermental transport, so I'm looking for a DVD player as a back up. My DAC is a Bel Canto 2 which upsamples to 24/192. My question is, would a cheap JVC 24/192 sound better than, say a Sony 9000ES rated at 24/96?
Just to make sure there's no confusing the issue - even the Pioneer players will only output a 16/44.1 signal thru their digital outputs when playing a standard redbook CD.
Is there an easy way to determine if a particular DVD player upsamples CD's? I'm looking at the new Yamaha dvd-c920 player and do not see anything in the owners manual concerning cd audio output rates. The only mentions is 96KHz, 24 bit audio DAC for high sound quality. No mention if that is for DVD only.
How do you know the Pioneer models mentioned above output "upconverted" CD audio?
