Denon Dvd-2800 Dacs'

I didn't think Dolby Digital was ever 24bit/96khz. I thought it was always 24bit/48khz.


Aside from that thought, if that disc does contain a 24bit/96khz signal usable by the 2800, I'm sure it's flagged for copyright protection. The 2800 will not output 24/96khz signals that are copyright protected via it's digital output, thus it will downconvert them to 24bit/48khz.


I think the only discs that may output 24/96khz digitally are the few Audio only DVDs (not DVD-Audio discs) that are out there - like Chesky discs or something like that.

Dolby digital is 20bit/48kHz. The multichannel 24bit/96kHz tracks require a DVD-Audio player. Some discs put the stereo 24/96 tracks on the Video partition, but most put them in the Audio partition, so again a DVD-Audio player would be needed.


Most discs include a DD track on the Video partition so they will play on all DVD players. So when you see a DD logo on a disc, it doesn't mean it is 24/96. The 24/96 refers to the DVD-Audio tracks.

You're thinking of the HDCD-light. I've played a few CDs which are HDCD. The Madonna Greatest Hits 2 has a few HDCD-tracks.

Well, if you look real close at the dvd-2800s lcd screen you'll see where the 24/96khz lights are,plus there's a diagram of a surround speaker setup if you look close.Now maybe I'm crazy but I assume if these signals are on the display that they can be lit up.And to repeat has anyone been able to light these?As for the last post, HDCD is a seperate light,It's not on the main screen!Thanks so far everyone!

Ok Mr. Wiseguy (hehe

Click on "Learning Library", then scroll down to "DVD Reviews", then click on the article "Introducing DVD Super Audio" article. I think this will answer your questions and, if you order one, will make the little 24/96khz light shine as long as you want.

DBNyack is correct Chesky is one studio which puts out 24/96 PCM discs. Classic Records is another. The bottom line is that are not many discs that do this. If you like classical or jazz, the AIX DVD-Audios put the 24/96 Stereo PCM tracks in the video partition so they are accessibe from a DVD-V player.

Nuff said!

IF you look closely in the display of the DVD-2800, it also has surround-sound decoder-lights, but it does not hav a decoder. This is because Denon use the same display for many models, and does not mean that the player can do more stuff.
