I am researching for my first DVD player. Most DVD players advertise that they have 96/24 DAC's. But I have seen literature that says this does not mean they are outputting a full 96/24 signal, but a down graded 48KHz signal. However, Pioneer does send out a true 96/24 signal.
WHAT are they talking about? What is a 96/24 DAC used for in a DVD player? Can someone explain why players advertise 96/24 DAC but deliver a 48 KHz signal?
Finally, is this something I should be concerned with? Should I buy a Pioneer because the have a true 96KHZ signal?
