To flip the question around the other way, if I already have 24-bit 192kHz in hand, is there a disadvantage in playing it back at that resolution and rate? Is it desirable for the player to downsample what's on the disc before handing it off to the DAC?

I have the "Audio Output Priority" set to "Coaxial/Optical" and as I interpret the information in the manual that should allow the data to go to those two ports without downsampling. I also have "48kHz/96kHz PCM" set to "96 kHz/24-bit" which according to the explanation should allow a signal of...

The range of human hearing aside, part of the reason I posted this (I'm the OP) is because I don't understand why Sony would automatically downsample the 192k HZ to 48 kHz. It's as though I'm not getting all I paid for when I bought the Blu Ray Audio disk, right? I was concerned that perhaps...

Part of my motivation here is that I'm inclined to purchase a new Blu Ray player for various reasons but if my dts-HD Master Audio tracks on Blu Ray Audio discs won't play back at full sampling rate then I'm not paying $800 or $1200 for a Blu Ray player. I'm primarily a 2-channel audio listener...

The one I am currently using is very old -- A Sony BPD-S360. It has a rather long setup menu, but today I found this statement in its operator's manual "...the signals will be set to 48kHz / 16 bit if the source is copy protected." Possibly all Blu Ray discs are copy protected? I am planning to...

I have a 2-channel audio system, two older Sony Blu Ray players, and am a newbie when it comes to Blu Ray Audio. I recently bought my first Blu Ray audio disc, and beside Dolby Atmos etc it has a separate 2-channel 24 bit/ 192kHz audio version on it. I have the PCM output of the Blu Ray players...
