Well I got a DVD-A player, and *THREE* DVD-A disks. I can't get 24 96Khz
out because you need a 5 channel system. I have *stereo* system for listening
to the music, but the software thinks we all need 5 channels, and it defaults
back to CD quality.
   I for one would love
 to have the Mercury Living Presense and RCA Living Stereo classical releases
 they did on SA-CD, as it's almost impossible to find good LP's at an
 affordable price.  At the moment I own one dual format CD/SA-CD, but don't
 even have an SA-CD player.  Oh, well, I normally listen to the LP of that
 album anyway. 
Now does anybody give real specs on why a DVD/CD player ranges from $29
to $2,900 and all the box sayes is *improved video*?
