Was fixing up my external DAC for monitors with a strap to also sense switching to 96k. The PLL CS8416 sense it but a pin need to say to DAC chip also to move to double speed. So that is fixed.
 
Anyway, that done I found I had an album where I have both a CD and a DVD that has 96k/24 LPCM version.
Perfect, now I can compare and listen - I thought.
 
No, no, no  and no again - there is no way I can get DVD player, a Sony, to send out 96k - even setting everything in setting to 96k/24. Tested to computer spdif input - and only 48k comes out.
 
OK, so I move to computer side completely, and there is only Photo Gallery or something that can open VOB files in VIDEO_TS folder on DVD. AUDIO_TS is empty. Photo Gallery only output 44k, and from drivers and setting there is not much you can set - apart from Studio Quality 24bit - or CD Quality 16 bit.
 
Tried Foobar2000 as base as player - but no luck.
 
Questions:
#1. How to rip this 96/24 LPCM from DVD to a file on disk - to playback or import into Sonar and compare?
#2. Are there any special drivers you need in Windows to support 96k?
#3. Tip of DVD players that can actually put out 96k on digital - various formats maybe?
I found some reading googling about some Sony models do what I discovered above, everything is ripped to 48k
 
I had no idea that I would get issues with 96k on this level, rather within daw or something.
But Sonar seems fine recording some acoustic guitar.
 
Thanks.

Did you burn the FILES to the CD and DVD, or did you actually burn in CD Format (Red Book) and DVD format. If it's the latter, that I believe that is your problem.
 
CD (Red Book) will automatically create a 44.1K audio file.
DVD Format will automatically burn a 48K audio file.
 
You need to burn to the disk as a data disk - with the raw WAV files (exported first). If your player can play WAV, AIFF, etc... then it may (or may not) be able to handle the higher rate.
 
If I am mistaken I'm sure someone will jump in to correct me :)

Thanks.
I did not burn anything, yet - just a dvd player that had settings internally - but did not actually put out anything but 48 from dvd.
 
I just happend to have an album that was shipped with both Cd and a number of hires audio format, if it was lpcm original master and dts quad or something dolby maybe.
And curious having the same professional recording in both 96k/44k to listen - if you can possibly hear any difference.
 
As is, on the dvd - or rip it to 96k WAV or something - for the same purpose.
If to make a SACD or DVD-Audio or something - it seems most modern players support those.
 
Looking in audio part of computer it was not much there in resolutions.
